                 TRIBUTE TO BRIG. GEN. ANDREW P. GROSE

                                 ______


                           HON. FLOYD SPENCE

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 12, 1996

  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Brig. Gen. Andrew 
P. Grose upon his retirement from the U.S. Air Force after 33-years of 
exemplary service. General Grose is currently the Air Force Reserve 
mobilization assistant to the director of legislative liaison for the 
U.S. Air Force. Since assuming this post in 1991, General Grose has 
demonstrated sound judgement and a keen sense of priority. His in-depth 
knowledge of the Air Force and the Congress has been of great benefit 
to Members of the House of Representatives as we have deliberated 
issues relating to our national security interests.
  General Grose has served with distinction in demanding positions. The 
leadership and commitment that he has demonstrated throughout his 
career have earned for him the respect and gratitude of those who have 
had the privilege of working with him. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my 
colleagues on the Committee on National Security, I bid General Grose a 
fond farewell and wish he and his family the very best as they move on 
to face new challenges and rewards.
