  IN HONOR OF DONALD R. DOSER ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT FROM 
                      OPERATING ENGINEERS, LOCAL 3

 Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Donald R. 
Doser, Business Manager Emeritus of Operating Engineers, Local 3, as he 
prepares to retire.
  Donald Doser has been a man committed to excellence. He has been a 
major force in the construction trades since 1958. A graduate of 
Harvard University's trade union school, he dedicated his career to 
improving the lives of working men and women in the construction 
trades. Donald has served as Local 3's District Representative and 
business manager. He also served as General Vice President for the 
International Union of Operating Engineers.
  During his tenure with Operating Engineers Local 3, Donald organized, 
trained staff and diligently worked to keep business operations on a 
sound financial footing. The list of his achievements and 
accomplishments during his leadership over the years is long. He 
increased the membership of Local 3 and focused on organizing new 
workers, creating equalized health benefits for members and improved 
vision-care coverage.
  Donald Doser, in addition to his more obvious accomplishments, 
established and maintained a higher standard of integrity in his 
organization. He undertook his many tasks with great determination and 
dedication. I am pleased to congratulate and pay tribute to him, and I 
encourage my colleagues to join me in wishing Donald Doser and his 
family the very best as he embarks on the next chapter in his 
life.
