            RETIREMENT OF BILL NORWOOD FROM UNITED AIRLINES

 Mr. SIMON. Mr. President, Bill Norwood is set to retire as a 
pilot from United Airlines. During his career, he participated in 
numerous educational, professional, and civic organizations in the 
State of Illinois. He also served with distinction on the Southern 
Illinois University Board of Trustees and the Board of the Illinois 
State Universities Retirement System.

  Illinoisans can take great pride in Mr. Norwood's dedication to 
Southern Illinois University and the State of Illinois. A former U.S. 
Air Force pilot who flew B-52's, Mr. Norwood used that experience to go 
to work for United Airlines in 1965. While a United Airlines pilot, Mr. 
Norwood received several awards, including a community relations award. 
Mr. Norwood has served his community and State well.
  I wish my friend and his family the best in his retirement. I am sure 
he will continue to be active in Illinois serving the community and the 
State.
