                       TRIBUTE TO ALBERT W. MOORE

 Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, I would like to pay tribute to 
Albert W. Moore for his leadership in a critical American industry. Mr. 
Moore is retiring after serving 8 years as president of the Association 
for Manufacturing Technology [AMT], a trade group which represents 374 
American builders of machine tools and related equipment. His 
distinguished career in the industry has spanned 43 years.
  The machine tool industry is vital to our country, making possible 
the production of almost every product which our society today enjoys. 
More important, these powerful and precise machines are a vital key to 
the Nation's defense.
  During his tenure as president, and earlier as the elected chairman 
of the association. Mr. Moore has worked to ensure that the U.S. 
industry was technologically equal to any in the world, and that its 
companies are strong and well run.
  Mr. Moore's efforts have greatly enhanced the position of our machine 
tool industry, and I congratulate him for a job well done.
