                      TRIBUTE TO JERRY EHRENFREUND

 Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I take this opportunity to 
honor and pay tribute to a distinguished individual, Jerry Ehrenfreund, 
who served as Chief Clerk in the Office of Printing Services from 1985 
to 1990.
  Mr. Ehrenfreund spent a lifetime in dedicated service to his country, 
serving in the Army and working for the Federal Government. In 1969, he 
began working for the Government Printing Office and worked on the 
staff which compiled the Federal Register. Shortly thereafter he was 
detailed to the Senate where he became the staff printer on the Senate 
Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs and, later, the staff 
printer for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Mr. Ehrenfreund 
truly exemplified the positive work ethic and dedication to his job and 
was named the Chief Clerk in the Office of Printing Services in 1985. 
In 1990 he retired from the staff of the Secretary of the Senate and 
retired to Katy, TX.
  Mr. Ehrenfreund passed away on July 14, 2004. His work in the Senate 
deserves special recognition, and I know my colleagues will join me in 
honoring him. Mr. Ehrenfreund was held in high regard by all who knew 
him and will be deeply missed by his wife of 48 years, Sylvia, their 
two daughters and five grandchildren.
