                THANKS TO FOUR DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVANTS

                                 ______


                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 27, 1996

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege for me to rise 
today to give a special thanks for a job well done to four loyal public 
servants who recently retired from Federal service with a combined 
total time in the Government of over 100 years: Ms. Joan Barnard, Ms. 
Charlotte Walch, Mr. Bill Lohr, and Mr. John Shwab. These four hard-
working individuals dedicated the final years of their Federal service 
to the Maternal and Child Health Bureau in the Department of Health and 
Human Services, ensuring that the unmet needs of mothers and children 
were identified and addressed.
  These four individuals represent the best things in our Nation: hard 
work, optimism, love of family, and dedication to their country. As I 
deliver these words of praise, I realize that the people who will miss 
their work the most are the members of the public who benefited from 
their hard work, as well as their friends and fellow coworkers.
  We wish them all happy retirement and congratulations on a job well 
done.
