                         TRIBUTE TO BOB WEHLING

                                 ______


                            HON. DAVID MANN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 13, 1994

  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bob Wehling, a 
distinguished gentleman who is one of Cincinnati's most respected 
advocates for children. The list of Bob's accomplishments and 
contributions to children is long and impressive.
  Bob has volunteered for the United Way for three decades, raised more 
than $100,000 for the March of Dimes, helped open a children's defense 
fund office in Cincinnati, lead his area board of education, and taught 
Sunday school for 23 years. He is also a husband, father of six, and 
grandfather of six. This extensive list is incredible, even more so 
because volunteering is not his full time occupation. Bob is Proctor & 
Gamble's senior vice president of public affairs and president of a 
company philanthropic foundation that allocates $20 million annually.
  I have personally appreciated Bob's advice and counsel over the years 
on many issues before the Congress and the city counsel. He has also 
been recognized by others for his achievements. He has been given many 
awards including the March of Dimes ``Battered Boot'' Award. This is an 
award that is given to indomitable volunteers at the March of Dimes.
  In addition to all of these accomplishments Mr. Wehling served our 
country. In 1960, he took a leave of absence from work and served for 3 
years in the U.S. Air Force Strategic Air Command.
  Through all of his years of work on behalf of the children of 
Cincinnati, I commend him and look forward to many more years of 
valuable friendship and service to the community.
