               THE OUTSTANDING SERVICE OF RICHARD MONAHAN

 Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I welcome this opportunity to 
honor Richard Monahan. Mr. Monahan has served the International 
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 103 in Boston, MA, with 
distinction for over 45 years. He began as an apprentice in 1956 and is 
retiring this month as an International Representative of the Second 
District.
  Mr. Monahan has worked effectively and tirelessly for the working 
families of Massachusetts and the Nation throughout these years. He 
will long be remembered for his outstanding commitment and dedication 
to the Electrical Workers Union. He also served his country with honor 
from 1960 to 1968 in the United States Coast Guard.
  Mr. Monahan rose through the ranks of the I.B.E.W., serving on its 
Executive Board, as its Business Manager, and as the Second District 
International Representative.
  He has also been active in his community. His dedication has gone 
above and beyond the call of duty, and he has given his many talents to 
charitable groups, including the Knights of Columbus Council 2259, 
AMVETS Post-0146 and the Quincy Lodge of Elks #943.
  I know that the men and women of Local 103 and his many friends and 
admirers in our community are proud of Richard Monahan's outstanding 
service, and we wish him a long and happy retirement.
