                         TRIBUTE TO ALBERT CHEN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GARY G. MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 30, 1999

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Mr. Albert Chen of Chino, California, a constituent of mine from the 
41st congressional district.
  Mr. Chen is the founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Telamon 
Electronics, which provides pre-installation assembly, material 
management and other services to the high-tech industry in Southern 
California. This 10-year old company has annual revenues in excess of 
$140 million and is headquartered in Chino. As one of the highest tax-
generators of the 2,100 businesses in the region, Telamon Electronics 
currently adds approximately $1 million annually in tax revenue to our 
area.
  Under Mr. Chen's capable leadership, Telamon Electronics recently 
brokered a $120 million business deal with two other leading national 
high-tech companies, GTE and Nortel Networks. This new working 
relationship will provide new jobs, new opportunities, and new services 
for the residents of Chino, western San Bernardinio County and eastern 
Los Angeles County. I believe this is a perfect example of big business 
working with small business to the mutual benefit of the economy and 
our diverse society.
  I congratulate Mr. Chen on his recent successes, and I welcome the 
new business partnerships between Telamon, GTE and Nortel Networks to 
my congressional district. Together, this new ``team'' will be 
providing a valuable service to the high-tech industry, while 
continuing to develop and implement cutting edge Internet technology.
