                      Thursday, September 26, 2002

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Ms. Dorella Bond, 
from my district in Grand Prairie, Texas. On October 2nd of this year, 
Ms. Bond will celebrate her 50th anniversary working for Lockheed 
Martin Missiles and Fire Control and its predecessor companies.

  Ms. Bond has spent a lifetime in dedicated service to her country and 
her company; a company that has produced many of the military's most 
recognizable defensive systems: systems that have helped guarantee our 
freedoms as Americans.
  Dorella first joined the Lockheed Martin family at the tender age of 
18 when, on October 2nd, 1952, she was hired by one of Lockheed 
Martin's predecessor companies, Temco Electronics and Missiles. 
Although she began her career as a Production Control Clerk-B, she 
quickly progressed up company ranks. Today, five decades later, Dorella 
serves as Executive Assistant to the Senior Vice President of Finance/
Chief Financial Officer. She still displays the same tenacity and 
dedication that she brought to the job 50 years ago, and shows no sign 
of stopping.
  Ms. Bond truly exemplifies the positive work ethic, experience, 
loyalty and dependability so important to our society today. She is 
truly a shining example of the American worker.
  Mr. Speaker, fifty years of service with an organization is a 
tremendous accomplishment, one deserving special recognition and honor 
for a job well done. I know my colleagues will join me today in 
honoring a remarkable woman and a tireless worker. We salute Dorella 
Bond today, and wish her continued success and accomplishment at 
Lockheed Martin.
