      TRIBUTE TO OFFICER CANDIDATE SCHOOL GRADUATE, SANDRA BERNAL

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVE R. ROTHMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 21, 1998

  Mr. ROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent, 
Sandra Bernal, on her recent graduation from Officer Candidate School 
(OCS). I am especially proud that Ms. Bernal, a resident of Teaneck, 
NJ, was awarded the Deputy Adjutant General Honor Graduate commendation 
upon her completion of the program. Ms. Bernal's accomplishment is a 
credit to her commitment to excellence and to her family and community.
  As a commissioned officer in the Armed Forces of the United States, 
Ms. Bernal will be contributing her considerable skills and talents to 
enhance our Nation's defense. Those same attributes that gained her a 
commendation during her OCS training will now, thankfully, be brought 
to bear during her service in the New Jersey Army and Air National 
Guard.
  For her service to our Nation, her dedication to America's liberty 
and freedom, I applaud Ms. Bernal's achievement. In the finest sense, 
she represents the best of America.
