  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in 
recognition of Mr. Dale Morris, Regional Director for American/American 
Eagle Airlines. Mr. Morris served a total of 27 years at American 
Airlines, including his early years as a proteegee to former Chairman, 
President and CEO of American Airlines, Gerard J. Arpey. As he enters 
retirement, it is fitting that this body honors Mr. Morris and his 
illustrious career, given his personal and professional successes.
  Mr. Morris was raised in Fresno, California, where he studied 
Journalism and Public Relations at Fresno State University. He 
maintained a firm connection to his roots as past president and current 
special advisor to the Fresno State Track & Field Commission. Among his 
various accolades, he is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, 
Inc., Epsilon Beta 311 Chapter.
  In his role at American Airlines, Mr. Morris had the ability to 
navigate various legislative and regulatory obstacles to effectively 
advocate for American Airlines, thereby keeping American citizens and 
American skies safe. Over several decades, he has worked extensively 
with members of Congress, the White House, and the Department of State, 
always with the utmost integrity and trustworthiness.
  Mr. Speaker, with Mr. Morris' leadership, officials at all levels of 
government made critical policy decisions that have improved the 
Nation's airports and many Americans' traveling experiences. I 
recognize Mr. Morris as a great American who has devoted his career to 
assisting those in public service and congratulate him on his 
retirement.
