 CONGRATULATING JIM GURETSKY, CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF 
                         FEDERAL CREDIT UNIONS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JON CHRISTENSEN

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 21, 1997

  Mr. CHRISTENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity 
to congratulate Mr. Jim Guretzky on his recent appointment to the 
chairmanship of the National Association of Federal Credit Unions 
[NAFCU]. During my term in Congress, I have worked closely with Jim on 
a number of issues and have found him to be a man of outstanding 
ability and knowledge. I feel credit unions across the Nation will 
benefit from Jim's leadership and business acumen. He has been 
president of the SAC Federal Credit Union in Omaha, NE, since 1984. 
Also, he has pledged that as chair of the NAFCU, he will work with the 
other directors on the NAFCU board and with members of the credit union 
community to help ensure all Federal credit unions receive the 
education, information, and representation they need to remain 
competitive and to maintain safe and sound operations. I look forward 
to working wit Jim Guretsky to attain these goals, and wish him a 
successful tenure as chairman of NAFCU.
