              CONGRATULATING MAJ. GEN. PAUL BERGSON, USAR

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JACK FIELDS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 25, 1996

  Mr. FIELDS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Maj. Gen. Paul Bergson, U.S. Army Reserve, on his recent 
promotion from the rank of brigadier general. I regret that pressing 
business back home in Texas prevented me from being with Paul at his 
promotion ceremony, held July 18 at the Pentagon.
  I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Paul for several 
years through his work with the Asia Pacific Exchange Foundation. I 
know of no one more dedicated to serving his country and preserving the 
freedoms on which the United States was founded than Paul.
  Currently serving as a military assistant to the Assistant Secretary 
of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, Paul has been a 
commissioned officer in the U.S. Army for more than three decades. His 
service to the Army and to his country inspires everyone who knows him.
  Mr. Speaker, I know you join with me in congratulating Paul on his 
recent promotion; in wishing him continued success in the U.S. Army 
Reserve and in his business. Bergson & Company; and in extending to him 
and to his wonderful wife. Jan, our very best wishes for the future.
