                            HON. BOB FILNER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 9, 1999

  Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Timothy Galloway 
as he is honored at the September 11, 1999 John S. Lyons Memorial 
Banquet for his contributions to the labor movement, his community and 
his State.
  Timothy Galloway's role in the labor movement began in 1976 when he 
began his second career working for the United States Postal Service 
repairing optical scanners and computers. He joined the American Postal 
Workers Union (APWU) and quickly became involved in union operations 
becoming an Alternate Steward. Eventually, Mr. Galloway was elected 
Secretary of the Local's Executive Board and then Executive Vice 
President. His efforts in video work for the Postal Service prompted 
his promotion to a Regional position and the creation of a Video 
Department for the Western Region of the Postal Service.
  In 1985, Mr. Galloway became Assistant Director of the United Way's 
Department of Labor Participation. He has continued to give his time, 
talent and expertise to help working men and women in times of 
hardship. His commitment extends to the non-labor community as well, 
and he is involved with numerous organizations. He was a Member of the 
San Diego Food Bank Operating Board and serves as a Member of the 
Neighborhood House Association, the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
and the Emergency Resource Group. Additionally, Mr. Galloway has 
dedicated eleven years coaching Little League and Bobby Sox Baseball.
  Timothy Galloway exemplifies the high values, standards and 
principles of the late John S. Lyons and is truly deserving of the 1999 
Johns Distinguished Service Award.
