                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 24, 1998

  Mr. DIXON. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize Ms. Sandra B. 
Morgan who on October 14, 1998, will retire after a distinguished 31 
year career with the City of Los Angeles government. On October 2, 
1998, Sandy, as she is affectionately known, will be honored at an 
appreciation dinner at the Proud Bird Restaurant in Los Angeles. In 
honor of her exemplary service to the City of Los Angeles government, I 
am pleased to have the opportunity today to publicly commend her.
  A native Angeleno, Sandy was born to Hiawatha and Lula Garrett on 
October 2, 1948. She attended public schools in Los Angeles, graduating 
from Manual Arts High School in 1966. After attending Los Angeles City 
Junior College, she began her career with the City of Los Angeles 
government working for the Department of Traffic as a clerk 
stenographer. From 1967 to 1985, she held various clerical positions of 
increasing responsibility, rising to become an executive secretary to 
the vice president of the Board of Public Works in April 1985. Later 
that same year, she became a personnel analyst, serving as a management 
advocate for the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works. As 
part of her duties, Sandy developed and implemented employee training 
modules for the Department of Transportation Office of Parking 
Management.
  When not fulfilling her responsibilities as a city employee, Sandy 
can be found managing her real estate company, Morgan's Real Estate, 
which operates in the states of California and Nevada. She is also a 
notary public. Married to Leslie H. Morgan, a retired real estate 
officer for the City of Los Angeles, she has three stepsons, Fredrick, 
Gerry, and Vincent. Sandra and Leslie also are the proud grandparents 
of Fredrick and Darnell.
  Mr. Speaker, I am delighted on behalf of the citizens of the 32nd 
Congressional District of California to have this occasion to thank 
Sandra S. ``Sandy'' Morgan for her many years of dedicated and 
committed services to the citizens of Los Angeles. As she prepares to 
set course on yet another chapter of her life, which I understand will 
begin with the Morgan family's move to Las Vegas, Nevada, I ask that 
you join me in extending our best wishes to her for a future that is 
filled with much happiness, good health, and abundant prosperity.
