                        HARRY, WE WISH YOU WELL

                                 ______


                          HON. JAMES A. BARCIA

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 4, 1994

  Mr. BARCIA of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise to call attention to the 
career of an individual who has been extremely important to many of my 
constituents, and who has played a significant role of the economic 
well-being of the many dry bean producers and shippers that I 
represent.
  Harry H. McClintic is retiring after 44 years with Stokley-Van Camp, 
Inc., and Quakers Oats Co. He is being honored by the Michigan Bean 
Shippers Association for his professional achievements during his 
outstanding career. He has been a major player in the purchase of dry 
beans that are produced in Michigan, particularly in my congressional 
district. He is known by many as a very knowledgeable, articulate, and 
skillful businessman who is both a shrewd bargainer and a most pleasant 
individual with whom one would want to spend a great deal of time.
  Through his professional skills he helps bring consumers throughout 
the United States a quality product that is getting most deserved 
attention to its positive role in good nutrition. He has left his 
capable mark on the buyers he has trained, making his impression felt 
on an even wider part of our country.
  He has been welcomed in Michigan as an arbitrator, and as a processor 
member of the Michigan Bean Commission. He has been welcomed as a 
business partner, and perhaps most importantly, he has been welcomed as 
a friend.
  Mr. Speaker, those of us who have had the good fortune to get to know 
Harry and his wife, Marilee, want to wish them every happiness and 
success as they together move on to new challenges. Their friends in 
Illinois will be happy to see them more, and their friends in Michigan, 
including myself and Congressman Camp who joins me in recognizing his 
accomplishments, will miss them. We hope that they will return to 
Michigan time and time again and consider our home State their second 
home.
