                        Wednesday, June 25, 1997

  Mr. MALONEY of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure 
to rise today to honor Mr. George Schmiedel for his outstanding service 
to the citizens of Connecticut. On this Friday, June 27, Mr. Schmiedel 
will retire after 30 years of service as the registrar of voters for my 
hometown of Danbury, CT.
  Mr. Schmiedel is a lifelong resident of Danbury, CT, and a 1948 
graduate of Danbury High School. He is a dedicated member and active 
participant at St. Peter's Church. In addition to his lengthy and 
distinguished service to the city of Danbury, Mr. Schmiedel also was 
employed for 19 years by the John Hancock Insurance Co. He and his 
wife, Sally, are the proud parents of three children: Mark, Steven, and 
Brenda, and have five grandchildren.
  Mr. Schmiedel has a long history of outstanding commitment to the 
community of Danbury. His membership and service in the Arthritis 
Association, the American Cancer Society, the Catholic War Veterans, 
and the Danbury Democratic Club has made a lasting contribution and has 
made him an invaluable member of our community.
  Mr. Schmiedel's extended service is a testimony to his dedication to 
the citizens of Connecticut and a reflection of his personal concern 
for the people of Danbury. Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my other 
distinguished colleagues to join me in commending Mr. George Schmiedel 
for his dedicated service and to congratulate him on his retirement.
