      FCC TO HONOR EMPLOYEES FOR OUTSTANDING PUBLIC SERVICE


The Commission will hold the Public Service Award Ceremony on
June 27, 1994, at
10:30 a.m. in the Commission Meeting Room (room 856).  The
Commission has chosen
eleven employees to receive the FCC's 1994 "Catherine Forster
Public Service Award."

In May 1990, the Commission initiated the Outstanding Public
Service Award Program. 
This award program was renamed in 1992 as the Catherine Forster
Public Service Award
to honor Ms. Forster who was slain while on duty at the FOB's New
York Field Office in
November 1991.  This marked the first time that a Commission
employee has been killed
serving on duty.  Ms. Forster had been with the FCC since
February 1971 and epitomized
the career civil servant who contributes so much to both the
Federal service and to our
country.  We believe naming the Commission's Public Service Award
after Ms. Forster
is an excellent way to recognize her contribution to the FCC and
to honor her memory.

This year's awards are being presented to Commission employees
who, through
exceptional performance of their day-to-day responsibilities or
through performance
beyond their normal job requirements, have excelled in meeting
the Commission's goal
of providing excellent service to the public in the most
efficient, uncomplicated, timely, and
courteous manner possible.

Those receiving awards are:
