                        TRIBUTE TO ETHEL McCANN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FLOYD SPENCE

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 14, 2000

  Mr. SPENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, as we celebrate the 225th 
Birthday of the United States Army, to recognize Ethel McCann, who 
dedicated 38 years of service to the Department of the Army. Although, 
Mrs. McCann retired on December 29, 1999, she remains a part of the 
Army family.
  For the last 26 years of her employment, Mrs. McCann served in the 
Army House of Representatives Liaison Office. In that capacity, Mrs. 
McCann was a dedicated and reliable resource person for Members of 
Congress and their staff. At the time of her retirement, it was 
estimated that she had responded to more than 125,000 inquiries from 
Congressional Offices.
  Mrs. McCann touched the lives of thousands of service members and 
their families during the 38 years that she was a civilian employee 
with the Department of the Army. She can be justifiably proud of her 
many achievements. On this day of celebration for the Army, I would 
like to take this opportunity to commend Ethel McCann on her service to 
our Country and to extend to her best wishes in her retirement in 
Florida.
