EPA rvf A Special Edition May 16, 1979 —SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT- NEW MIDSD DIRECTOR SELECTED Raphael C. Stringer has been selected as the new Director of MIDSD to succeed Willis Greenstreet.

His predecessors have been Kermit Day, who was director from 1970 until 1973 while MIDSD was a branch of Facili- ties Management; Mike Springer, who served from 1973 until 1975; and, most recently, Willis Greenstreet, who was Director from 1975 until this year. Mr. Stringer comes to MIDSD from the U.S. Postal Service where he served in a num- ber of capacities since 1964. First as Chief of the Management Analysis Branch, then as Director of the Management Sys- tems Division, he later became Director of the Office of Management Services, then Acting Regional Assistant Postmaster General in support of the Northeast Region.

In 1968, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Award and in 1970 was a finalist for the Arthur Fleming award for meritorious government service by civil servants under forty. The management of ADP services is by no means new to Mr. Stringer, as there was an ADP group within his last organization at the Postal Service. The vast manage- ment experience he brings to the Director's office intimates a bright future for MIDSD. Bud and his wife Barbara live in suburban Virginia. His hobbies include sailing, auto racing, and flying. We at MIDSD welcome Bud Stringer as our new Director and hope he will find ful- fillment and enjoy success in his new job. ------- U.S. FVESlDEfiY JIMMY CARTER EPA ADMINISTRATOR DOUGLAS COSTLE ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR, PLANNING 8 MANAGEMENT BILL DRAYTON DEPUTY ASSIST.
