                       TRIBUTE TO DAVID CHITTICK

                                 ______


                            HON. DICK ZIMMER

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 21, 1995

  Mr. ZIMMER. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. David 
Chittick, whose dedication and leadership helped AT&T become a model 
corporate citizen and a protector of the environment. Mr. Chittick 
passed away on November 19, 1995, after a battle with cancer.
  David Chittick helped AT&T set goals that eventually led to its 
elimination of ozone-depleting chemicals and significant reductions in 
toxic air emissions. His career and work as an environmental leader 
earned Dave much well-deserved recognition. In 1991, he was awarded the 
Environmental Protection Agency's stratospheric ozone protection award 
for outstanding leadership in the industrial field. He was a member of 
the United States Mission to the People's Republic of China on 
stratospheric ozone depletion in the electronics industry and also 
served with the United States State Department and EPA delegations to 
the former U.S.S.R. and Hungary.
  In addition, Dave was involved in a number of environmental 
organizations including the National Wildlife Federation's Corporate 
Conservation Council, the board of Resources for the Future, the 
Environmental Law Institute, the Management Institute for Environment 
and Business and the environmental advisory committee of the Vermont 
Law School.
  Dave Chittick began his career at AT&T in 1955. He served the company 
well for 39 years until his retirement in 1994. We will all fondly 
remember him.
