TWO HOUSTON COAST GUARD HELICOPTER CREWS SELECTEDAS WINNERS OF SIKORSKY HUMANITARIAN SERVICE AWARDS

Two Houston Coast Guardhelicopter crews are the first reci-pients of the Igor I. Sikorsky Awardfor Humanitarian Service. Theawards were presented by theHelicopter Association International

(HAI) at a convention in DallasFeb. 6.

Both crews were recognized forrescues made as hurricane Chantalstruck the Texas coast Aug. 1, 1989.The six Coast Guardsmen recognizedare assigned to Coast Guard Air Sta-tion Houston, based at EllingtonField.

Crew 6591 members are Lt. DavidSpillman, Lt. Michael Houtz and AT3John Romano. Crew 6584 membersare Lt. Cmdr. Dana Goward, Lt.Patrick McHugh and AM2 AnthonyJohnson.THE FIRST RESCUE The two crews flew indriving rain, turbulent winds in ex-cess of 60 knots and numerousembedded thunderstorms andsqualls to save fishermen from a cap-

sized boat during Chantal. Therescues were performed while pass-ing through the center and the right-forward quadrant -- the mostdangerous sector -- of the storm.

Crew 6591 arrived at the scene ofthe shipwreck first and saw five sur-vivors in the water. While attempt-ing the rescue, Romano, the hoistoperator, was pulled off balance bya frantic fisherman. Unbuckling hisown harness, co-pilot Houtz reachedacross to steady Romano and helpthe survivors into the rescue basket,while aircraft commander Spillmanheld the helicopter in a hover posi-tion. The crew rescued the fivefishermen and transported them to

the Coast Guard Station in Sabine,Texas.THE SECOND RESCUE Upon learningfrom the rescued men that two otherfishermen had been washed over thesea wall earlier, Crew 6591 informedCrew 6584, who had just arrived onthe scene. Crew 6584 turned down-

wind in a search pattern and the air-craft was slammed toward the waterby violent winds. Recovering controljust 50 feet above the waves, Crew6584 continued to search the debris-littered ocean and marshes. After 10minutes, the two survivors werelocated, clinging to each other in thecrashing surf. Fighting the wind andwater, Crew 6584 managed to lowerthe rescue basket and retrieve thetwo men. They then transportedthem to the Coast Guard station inSabine.THE AWARD The Sikorsky Award,sponsored by Sikorsky Aircraft inhonor of its founder, is dedicated tothe persons who best demonstratethe value of the civil rotorcraft tosociety through a lifesaving, proper-ty protection or distress relievingact.

TRADE DEVELOPMENT OFFICIAL DISCUSSES LATIN AMERICA ATHOUSTON INTERAMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING

Members of the Houston In-terAmerican Chamber of Commercerecently learned about a U.S. govern-ment agency that provides fundingfor project planning in developingcountries.

Daniel Stein, regional director furLatin America at the U.S. Trade andDevelopment Program, focused onhow the program could help U.S.firms interested in launching proj-ects in Latin America.SINCE EARLY 1980S The Trade and1)evelopment Program (TDP) been active in Latin America sincethe early 1980s, with projects in 16countries. The agency provides fund-ing for U.S. firms to carry outfeasibility studies, consultancies andother planning services related tomajor projects in developingcountries.

TDP assistance is designed to pro-mote economic: development andhelp U.S. firms participate in proj-

ects that offer export opportunities.In 1987, TDP provided $1.7 millionin funding for Latin America projectplanning. That figure had grown to$6 million by 1989.

Stein noted that U.S. legal restric-tions prevent TDP from funding cer-tain activites in Argentina, Brazil,Nicaragua, Panama and Peru.However, he said TDP funds orfinances could be used both forpublic sector projects, which are tobe wholly owned by foreign govern-ments, and for private sector proj-ects in which a U.S. investor plans totake equity.DIRECT RESULTS Since its inception in1980, TDP has financed the planningof 520 projects in 91 countries. WhileTDP grants are not tied to follow-through procurement, the program’sstudies and other services have led tomore than $1 billion in direct ex-ports from the United States, accord-ing to Stein. It is estimated that over

the next decade, TDP activitiesfinanced to date are likely togenerate an additional $7 billion inexports.

For further information about theprogram, contact Stein at the U.S.Trade and Development Program,SA-16, Room 301, Washington, D.C.20523-1602. The telephone numberis (703) 875-4357. The facsimilenumber is (703) 875-4009.
