                                 ______


                         HON. THOMAS M. BARRETT

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 10, 1995

  Mr. BARRETT of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
the memory of one of Wisconsin's finest public servants, my good friend 
and colleague Steve Cullen.
  Steve Cullen dedicated his life to the betterment of the city of 
Milwaukee and the State of Wisconsin. A graduate of Milwaukee's 
Washington High School and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Steve 
served on the Milwaukee Common Council for 12 years. He was a tireless 
public advocate who was not afraid to fight for his constituents. 
Steve's accomplishments are great. He will long be remembered for his 
successful efforts to bring cable television to Milwaukee, his drive to 
reform and reorganize city government, and his leadership and expertise 
on budget matters. When Steve tackled a project, no matter how 
challenging, he did so with enthusiasm, vigor, and integrity.
  Steve will also be remembered for his boisterous personality and 
sense of humor. Steve brought laughter and joy into every room he 
entered, and could brighten your day like no one else.
  Above all else, Steve Cullen was a devoted father and loving husband. 
Those who knew Steve well understood that the time he spent with his 
beautiful daughters Annie, Kathleen, Molly, and Colleen, and has wife 
Gael were the greatest times of his life. I'm sure that his daughters 
will always remember what a caring and giving man their father was.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to 
Steve Cullen. And I join with the city of Milwaukee and the State of 
Wisconsin in mourning the loss of an outstanding citizen and friend.
