               RETIREMENT OF MAYOR CHESTER W. GROBSCHMIDT

  Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I rise today to honor an outstanding public 
servant, Mayor Chester W. Grobschmidt of South Milwaukee, WI. After 9 
years as an alderman and 28 years in city hall, he retired from 
municipal government this April 18. Throughout Wisconsin, people 
consider his tenure one of the most successful in the State's history.
  The citizens of South Milwaukee will attest to Mayor Grobschmidt's 
many contributions to their community. He has improved municipal 
services, including the city administration building and street 
department. South Milwaukee can now feel more secure with Mayor 
Grobschmidt's work on the city's firefighting facilities and wastewater 
treatment center. Students and professionals alike can thank him for 
South Milwaukee's expanded library. The mayor also established the 
Chester A. Grobschmidt senior center in the city administration 
building for senior citizens' enjoyment and education. These are Mayor 
Grobschmidt's legacies; he is a tough act to follow.
  I applaud the mayor for epitomizing good, effective municipal 
government. The residents of South Milwaukee will always remember 
fondly his qualified and stable leadership. I wish Mayor Grobschmidt a 
happy, well-deserved retirement.
