                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 19, 1997

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Los Angeles Chapter No. 3 of the National Association of 
Retired Federal Employees [NARFE] on its 50th anniversary.
  Los Angeles Chapter No. 3 of NARFE was originally chartered in June 
1947. Since that time, it has been dedicated to promoting and 
protecting the interests of civilian individuals and families who have 
retired from Federal service. With a membership of half-million 
retirees nationwide, NARFE provides a vital service for the dedicated 
individuals who have chosen a career in public service.
  As Los Angeles Chapter No. 3 celebrates its achievements over the 
last 50 years, I ask my colleagues to join me in commending it for its 
substantial contributions on behalf of Federal retirees and for working 
to improve their quality of life.
