                  TRIBUTE TO LT. COL. ANTHONY F. QUAN

                                 ______


                        HON. ROBERT A. UNDERWOOD

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 20, 1996

  Mr. UNDERWOOD. Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend Lt. Col. Anthony 
F. Quan of the U.S. Army for his outstanding contributions to the 
island of Guam through his outstanding military service. I also offer 
my sincerest congratulations on his recent graduation from the U.S. 
Army War College.
  I have personally known Tony Quan for many years. He was born in 
Agana on September 19, 1950, to Frank D. and Maria C. Quan. His wife, 
the former Flora Baza, is a lady well known on the island as the 
``Queen of Chamorro'' music and as the first Guam beauty queen to bring 
home an international title. Tony and Flora are the proud parents of 
four children, Anthony, Jr. (T.J.), Edwin, Jomia, and Jessica.
  Although Tony's distinguished military record and training seem to 
stand out among his numerous accomplishments, several aspects of his 
notable career are also worth mentioning. He received his commission 
from the U.S. Army soon after graduating with a degree in civil 
engineering from Marquette University. He has also been awarded two 
masters degrees, an MS in civil engineering from Marquette in 1974 and 
an MA in public administration from Shippenburg University in 1996. In 
addition to his service with the U.S. Army and the Guam National Guard, 
Tony also worked in various capacities for the Government of Guam and 
the private sector.
  On Guam, the personal accomplishments and success of native sons and 
daughters are always celebrated and adopted as triumphs for everyone in 
the community. As a graduate of the U.S. Army War College, Lieutenant 
Colonel Quan has attained the highest level of educational training 
offered by the U.S. Army. He has brought great recognition not only to 
himself but also to the island of Guam and its people. On behalf of the 
people of Guam, I congratulate Lt. Col. Anthony F. Quan for his 
outstanding achievements. We commend his efforts, hard work, and 
contributions to the island.
