                   PROMOTION OF JOHN H. OLDFIELD, JR.

 Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, I rise today to commend the 
promotion of John H. Oldfield to Brigadier General of the Georgia Air 
National Guard and applaud his lifelong service to the State of Georgia 
and to the U.S. military.
  Mr. President, Mr. Oldfield, who was born and still resides with his 
wife and one son in Savannah, GA, has received numerous distinguished 
military awards and decorations over his career in the Armed Services. 
These accomplishments, as well as his lifelong dedication to the well 
being of the State of Georgia, have led to his recent promotion, which 
was unanimously approved by the U.S. Senate on October 30, 1997.
  Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate 
Brigadier General Oldfield and wish him continued success in his new 
position.
