                          HON. THOMAS M. DAVIS

                       Tuesday, November 7, 1995

  Mr. DAVIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bernadette A. Budde, a 
woman who is legendary in Washington and across the Nation for her 
political acuity and her forthright personal style.
  Bernadette A. Budde came to BIPAC in 1970 as a research analyst. In 
1974, she was promoted to director of political education, and vice 
president, political education in 1984. She was named vice president in 
1993.
  She is responsible for the development and implementation of all 
BIPAC's political analysis programs that guide executives and business 
owners in effective political participation. These include the 
organization's conferences, briefings, and publications.
  She edits Election In*Sight, a comprehensive monthly report on 
congressional campaigns, politics, and election regulation. Known as 
the bible for politically active business managers, Elections In*Sight 
is BIPAC's flagship production. Ms. Budde also is responsible for 
editorial direction of other BIPAC publications, including two 
quarterly newsletters, Politics and Action Report.
  Her guidance on political campaigns, election law, and campaign 
finance is widely sought by congressional candidates and incumbents. 
She has authored a number of published articles, and speaks frequently 
to business and educational audiences.
  Ms. Budde holds degrees from Marquette University and the University 
of Maryland.
  Mr. Speaker, I know my colleagues join me in honoring Ms. Bernadette 
A. Budde for all of her accomplishments not only to BIPAC, but to 
national politics as a whole.
