                      IN HONOR OF ROBERT L. NOREM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GARY A. CONDIT

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 3, 1998

  Mr. CONDIT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay honor to the retirement 
of Robert L. Norem after 30 years of service in probation and 
corrections with Stanislaus County in California's great Central 
Valley. Bob has served as the Chief Probation Officer with Stanislaus 
County Probation since March 30, 1985.
  As a friend of mine, I can attest to Bob's commitment and dedication 
to those he has served. That service cannot go unnoticed. He has worked 
tirelessly to provide leadership to Stanislaus County and its 
residents. Bob has the vision to see the importance of the role of 
probation in our communities and in the future.
  While many talk about what could be done, or perhaps what should be 
done, Bob is the sort of man who rolls up his sleeves and gets the job 
done. I consider it an honor to call him my friend.
  Mr. Speaker, it is indeed a privilege to honor Bob and commend him. I 
ask that my colleagues in the House of Representatives rise and join me 
in congratulating Bob Norem on a job well done and in honoring him on 
his retirement.
