                       Tuesday, February 24, 1998

  Mr. FAZIO of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Michael McDonald, General Manager of the Northern California Power 
Agency, who has served the citizens of California since 1985. Mr. 
McDonald, at the helm of NCPA, has provided public power customers with 
some of the highest quality electrical service in the nation. I wish 
him luck in his new career.
  Mr. McDonald has served many cities in California. He was City 
Manager for the City of Healdsburg for eight years. He also spent over 
a decade at NCPA, a full service Joint Powers Agency comprised of 19 
public entities, including the cities of Alameda, Santa Clara, Lodi, 
Palo Alto, among others. Mr. McDonald has also worked tirelessly as the 
Chairman of the Transmission Agency of Northern California, a Joint 
Powers Agency which owns and operates high voltage transmission between 
California and Oregon; a member of the Western Systems Coordinating 
Council Board of Trustees; and a member of the California Municipal 
Utilities Association Board of Governors.
  I would like today to honor Mr. McDonald and his contribution to the 
citizens of California and wish him the best in his future.
