                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILL LUTHER

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 4, 1999

  Mr. LUTHER. Mr. Speaker, I come before the House today to honor a 
devoted public servant, Thomas A. Egan of Eagan, MN. After twenty 
distinguished years as council member and Mayor of Eagan, Tom recently 
decided to retire from public service. Although his leadership will be 
greatly missed, Tom's legacy is the shared sense of community and 
responsibility that Eagan residents will carry into the new millennium.
  Tom also served a successful tenure as President of the National 
Organization to Insure a Sound-Controlled Environment (NOISE) where he 
was a tireless advocate of airport noise mitigation. Tom's dedication 
to airport noise reduction helped communities and citizens nationwide 
address the adverse effects of increased noise pollution.
  On behalf of these communities and citizens, especially his 
constituents in Eagan, MN, we greatly appreciate all of Tom's 
contributions and efforts, and we wish him all the best in his future 
endeavors.
