          JOHN HANLEY HONORED FOR DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FORTNEY PETE STARK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 3, 1998

  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the dedication and 
accomplishments of Mr. John Hanley who represents the very best in 
public service and to thank him for his years of service to our joint 
constituency in the 13th Congressional District as he leaves to 
continue his career across the Bay.
  A graduate from Fordham University in New York, Mr. Hanley began his 
career with the Social Security Administration as a Claims 
Representative in New York in 1971. Since then, he has held 
increasingly responsible positions, including Operations Supervisor, 
Staff Specialist in the Regional Office, Area Administrative Assistant, 
Assistant District Manager, and District Manager in two Bay Area 
districts--meanwhile finding time in the evenings to complete his MPA 
at California State University Hayward.
  Mr. Hanley has been SSA District Manager for the Hayward, CA District 
for seven years where he displays an exceptional ability to balance 
operational and administrative responsibilities. He consistently 
demonstrates a personal involvement in all aspects of operations, and 
can be depended upon to be well informed on technical changes as well 
as on new policies and procedure that impact operations and service 
delivery. Due to his strong analytical skills, his suggestions for 
changes and improvements benefit not only his District but the entire 
Region.
  Under Mr. Hanley's exceptionally effective leadership, his District 
is a model for timeliness, accuracy and courteous service. John's blend 
of consistently efficient service without sacrificing compassion has 
earned him the respect of peers and community alike and has made my job 
easier! My office has observed his office as a hallmark of public 
service and has enjoyed many years of close cooperation and 
responsiveness.
  I join many in our community in thanking John for his strong 
leadership within the Administration and for having a caring heart for 
the claimants.

                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Thursday, June 4, 1998, may be found in the 
Daily Digest of today's Record.
