On the recordMarch 15, 1996
I rise at this time to recognize a fellow citizen for the achievements and contributions he has made to this Nation and industry in which he has worked for three decades. John P. Capellupo, president of McDonnell Douglas Aerospace, will step down from his position and retire from this leading U.S. producer of military aircraft on March 31. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Defense, I am intimately aware of the contributions that John Capellupo has made to aerospace and the national security of the United States. Mr. Capellupo, or Cap as he is widely known, began his aerospace career in 1957 working as a technical analyst on the F-101B aircraft and super Talos missile programs at what was then the McDonnell Aircraft Co. in St. Louis. He rose steadily through the engineering ranks, into program management, and ultimately, to the company's highest leadership positions.
