                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY BONILLA

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 11, 2000

  Mr. BONILLA. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Bill Cheney, the 
President and CEO of Xerox Federal Credit Union, headquartered in El 
Segundo, California, for his recent election to the board of the 
National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU). I have had the 
pleasure of knowing Bill for over 16 years, many of which he spent in 
my congressional district at Security Service Federal Credit Union in 
San Antonio, Texas. During that time, we spent many years working 
together on issues that affect the citizens of the 23rd Congressional 
District of Texas. Bill also shares my life-long commitment to 
supporting all athletes at the University of Texas at Austin.
  Even though Bill left San Antonio to become President and CEO at 
Xerox Federal Credit Union, he continues to keep me updated on credit 
union views. He even makes it back to Texas from time to time to visit 
Xerox Federal Credit Union offices. Xerox Federal Credit Union, which 
has over 73,000 members, serves employees of Xerox Corporation and 
related companies nationwide through 16 credit union offices in 9 
states including California, New York, Illinois, and Texas.
  His election to the NAFCU board culminates 15 years of dedicated work 
in the credit union industry. I congratulate my friend Bill Cheney on 
his recent election to the NAFCU Board and look forward to continuing 
to work with him and America's credit unions. I know Bill will be an 
outstanding voice for credit unions everywhere.
