                          HONORING TINA HANONU

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. VERNON J. EHLERS

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 26, 1996

  Mr. EHLERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Tina 
Hanonu, a 12-year employee of the U.S. House of Representatives, who 
recently served as a staffer with Representative Sherwood Boehlert of 
the 23d District of New York and as the volunteer president of the 
House System Administrators Association.
  Tina began her career on the Hill in 1984. She served as an advisor 
and consultant to Representative Connie Morella and went on to become a 
senior systems administrator for Representative Boehlert. She recently 
advanced her career in the House of Representatives, from that of a 
systems administrator, to become a senior technical representative for 
House Information Resources.
  Tina has a real knack for organizing and problem solving. She has 
always taken the lead in mobilizing systems administrators and other 
computer user groups on the Hill. She has worked tirelessly to help 
solve problems and find solutions for others in performing their daily 
jobs. With her busy schedule she also found time to be a cofounder of 
the House Systems Administrators Association in 1990. She served as 
president of the group from 1993 until leaving to work with House 
Information Resources.
  Under her leadership the House System Administrators Association has 
become a key organization in the House's efforts to use technology to 
better serve the country. Tina has been a great help not only to her 
employing office, but to the entire House of Representatives.
  Over the years Tina has worked to forge better relationships between 
Member offices and House resource organizations. She can be credited 
with aiding in the growth and development of her peers and colleagues 
throughout her career in the House of Representatives.
  As chairman of the Computer and Information Resources Working Group 
of the House Oversight Committee, I am determined to have our new 
computer system as user-oriented as possible. Individuals like Tina are 
invaluable in helping us develop such a system.
  I, as well as the entire U.S. House of Representatives, recognize and 
congratulate Tina Hanonu for all of her hard work and dedication to 
this institution.
