  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to pay tribute to one of 
my constituents, Herschel Farmer of Silver Spring, MD. At the end of 
this year Mr. Farmer will be retiring after more than 31 years of 
dedicated service with the United Parcel Service (UPS).
  Mr. Farmer was born in Pulaski, VA, in 1947 and graduated from 
Pulaski High School in 1965. He began his UPS career in 1970 as a car 
washer. Less than 2 months later Mr. Farmer was promoted to the 
position of Package Delivery Driver.

  In 1975 Herschel began his career in UPS management when he was 
promoted to full time manager in the UPS Atlantic District. His 
management career has taken him across the country from Virginia to 
Iowa, to Texas, and finally to Maryland. During this period he has 
served primarily in Operations and Labor Relations capacities.
  Mr. Farmer currently serves as the Chief Operating Officer of the 
Metro DC District which encompasses Northern Virginia, Maryland, and 
Washington, DC--including our offices here in the House of 
Representatives. Congratulations Mr. Farmer on a long and distinguished 
career. Best wishes to you and your family and enjoy your retirement.
