               TRIBUTE TO LT. COL. ARCHIBALD GALLOWAY II

 Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, it is with great pleasure that I 
rise today to pay tribute to Lt. Col. Archie Galloway for his dedicated 
military service to our country.
  Colonel Galloway is retiring on May 31, 1997 from active service in 
the U.S. Army after serving for nearly 29 years as an infantry officer 
and soldier. I came to know Colonel Galloway personally during his last 
3\1/2\ years of military service as a staff officer in the Army's 
Senate liaison office, as he arranged for and accompanied me on a 
number of key trips around the globe on critical national issues of 
defense and foreign affairs.
  Colonel Galloway was born in Baltimore, MD, on April 12, 1947. He 
enlisted in the Army in 1967 as a private and was later commissioned as 
a second lieutenant in 1969 from Infantry Officer Candidate School at 
Fort Benning, GA. Throughout his military career, he consistently 
distinguished himself during times of peace and war, in both command 
and staff positions. He volunteered for duty in Vietnam as a Vietnamese 
ranger adviser and was decorated with the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry 
with Silver Star and the Bronze Star Medal. During Operation Just 
Cause, he served as the chief of current operations in the joint task 
force and earned at the end of his tour in the 7th Infantry Division 
the Legion of Merit. His other notable military awards include the 
Combat Infantryman's Badge, Meritorious Service Medal with four Oak 
Leaf Clusters, Army Commendation Medal, Army General Staff 
Identification Badge, Ranger, Airborne, and Air Assault Badges.
  Colonel Galloway's professionalism and leadership as a military 
officer have earned him the respect and admiration of his soldiers, 
fellow officers,

and Members of the U.S. Congress. He is known for his integrity, 
compassion, and ability to inspire men and women from all walks of 
life. It is these qualities that will assure his success as a new 
legislative assistant for Senator Jeff Sessions.
  I salute Arch Galloway for his distinguished military record and wish 
him and his wonderful wife and great baker, the former Nancy Carol 
Brendel, many years of happiness and good health in his retirement.
