                  HONORING THE LIFE OF STANLEY WARREN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GARY L. ACKERMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 16, 1997

  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life and achievements 
of Mr. Stanley Warren, who served in the 1960's as the Assistant 
Director of the General Accounting Office's Defense Auditing and 
Accounting Division. Mr. Warren was tragically killed in a helicopter 
crash while serving in Korea in 1964 and is the only GAO employee ever 
killed on official duty.
  Stanley Warren was born in Brooklyn, NY, in 1930. He graduated from 
the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania in 
1952. Shortly after graduation, Mr. Warren began to work at the GAO. He 
temporarily left the GAO to serve in the Army where he fully developed 
his expertise in defense-related issues. He later returned to the GAO 
where he continued to work until his tragic death. Mr. Warren was 
survived by his wife and two sons.
  Mr. Warren was an extraordinary individual who sought to serve his 
country during a time of global instability. He served in the Army and 
at the GAO to ensure that his children could grow up in a safer, more 
peaceful world. His dedication to his work will always be admired and 
appreciated by his colleagues at the GAO. His love for his family will 
be remembered forever.
  On September 29, Mr. Warren will be honored by the GAO for his years 
of exceptional service. The Acting Comptroller General of the United 
States will present a memorial statement to his wife and two sons. I 
ask all of my colleagues to join me in honoring his memory and thanking 
his family for all that he gave to our country.
