                   TRIBUTE TO DAVID F. ``BUD'' WILSON

                                 ______


                           HON. DUNCAN HUNTER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 21, 1994

  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. David F. 
``Bud'' Wilson, who is closing out his distinguished 4-year term as 
chairman of the Independent Insurance Agents of America's [IIAA] 
Government Affairs Committee. Mr. Wilson is a citizen of Bonita, CA and 
a partner of the Wilson-Cox Insurance Agency, located in Chula Vista.
  Mr. Wilson was named IIAA Government Affairs Committee chairman in 
1990. His 4-year tenure coincided with some tumultuous times for the 
insurance industry, especially in California, but he has handled these 
challenges decisively and has steered IIAA toward a future of 
significant legislative and policy interaction with both the Federal 
and State governments.
  His leadership of the Government relations panel of the Nation's 
largest insurance trade association will come to an end next month in 
Orlando. This exemplary service will be the crowning accomplishment of 
Mr. Wilson's many years of distinguished service to IIAA, his 
profession, and most importantly, to his 300,000 colleagues across the 
country.
  Bud began his service to his profession as the president of the 
Independent Insurance Agents Association of San Diego. From there he 
extended his involvement to the Independent Insurance Agents and 
Brokers of California [IIABC] where over a 14-year period he held a 
number of offices. He was a member of IIABC's legislative committee and 
board of directors and served as secretary-treasurer, vice president, 
and president.
  His service to the national association began when he was elected to 
a 4-year term as California's representative to IIAA's board of 
directors.
  While he has been highly involved in insurance industry concerns over 
the years, Bud has also made time for numerous community activities, 
including the Chula Vista Rotary Club, Jaycees, Salvation Army, 
Republican Club, and the Chula Vista Community Hospital Board of 
Trustees.
  I congratulate my friend, fellow Californian and concerned citizen 
for a job well done. I am confident his selfless service to his 
association, his professional peers, and his fellow citizens of 
southern California will continue uninterrupted into the future.
