                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 2, 1996

  Mr. SALMON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an Arizona 
electric company that has done outstanding working the area of 
electrical efficiency. Recently, the Arizona Public Service Co. won an 
award from the Edison Electric Institute for its electrical efficiency 
in architectural design. As you know, we have some very warm weather in 
the Southwest, just like we do right here in Washington, DC, creating a 
tremendous demand for

air conditioning and refrigeration. To find ways to make the most 
efficient use of electricity, the people at Arizona Public Service Co. 
designed an Environmental Showcase Home. Sacrificing neither comfort 
nor aesthetics, the home uses 60 percent less electricity and water. 
Mr. Speaker, I assure you that savings such as this will rapidly add up 
in Phoenix's large home-building market.
  Ms. Pat Vincent, APSC marketing and sales director, was in Washington 
recently to receive the award from EEI President Thomas R. Kuhn in a 
Capitol Hill ceremony. My congratulations to Arizona Public Service Co. 
for this well-deserved honor.
