                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 6, 1996

  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the noteworthy 
achievements of Ken Heredia of the San Jose Fire Department. Mr. 
Heredia has been the president of the San Jose Fire Fighters Union, 
Local 230, for the past 8 years. In addition, he has served 15 years on 
the fire department's union executive board.
  During the years Mr. Heredia has served the San Jose firefighters, he 
has demonstrated an unselfish and much valued commitment to organized 
labor and the fire service. On June 8, 1996, a special barbecue will be 
held by the San Jose Firefighters Local 230 in honor of Mr. Heredia and 
his years of dedicated service to our community.
  Mr. Heredia, a native of his community, was recently promoted to 
battalion chief of the San Jose Fire Department. Although he will be 
sorely missed as a leader of local 230, I would like to extend my 
congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Heredia as he takes on his new 
role in the department. I invite my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing this dedicated public servant.
