                        Tuesday, March 18, 1997

  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Capt. Nick 
Bariski, a man who lived a remarkable life, and who made many 
contributions to his community before recently passing away.
  Captain Bariski served his country for many years in the United 
States Army, rising to the rank of Captain. After settling in Marin 
County, Captain Bariski continued his dedication to the Armed Services 
by serving as local chapter President of the Retired Officers 
Association for an unprecedented three separate terms.
  As the President of this esteemed organization, Captain Bariski 
continually lobbied for the rights and interests of both retired and 
current members of the Armed Services. He represented his local chapter 
at various regional and State meetings, served as a member of the 
executive committee, and was present to provide valued counsel to other 
retirees.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay tribute to the life of 
Captain Nick Bariski, a man whose generous contributions to his country 
and his friends will always be remembered, not only in the hearts of 
those he touched personally, but in the lives of those who have 
benefited from his tireless work on behalf of all military retirees.
