                    TRIBUTE TO BETTE JANE RODRIGUEZ

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GERALD D. KLECZKA

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 21, 1997

  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to my friend, 
Bette Jane Rodriguez, who is being recognized by the city of Cudahy on 
February 13, 1997, as she retired after serving the Treasurer's Office 
for 33\1/2\ year.
  Throughout her long and dedicated term, Bette Jane has served as 
deputy treasurer to several city treasurers. Her leadership while 
assisting the government of the city of Cudahy to run more effectively 
and efficiently should be commended.
  Ms. Rodriguez has served on the Cudahy Area Business and Professional 
Women's Club since 1973. She has also served on the Cudahy Democratic 
Unit by providing assistance on several local and Presidential 
elections, as well as on the Cudahy Municipal Credit Union and on the 
Cudahy Historical Society for the last 10 years.
  Bette Jane Rodriguez will truly be missed in City Hall, but knowing 
her as I do, she will only become more active in the community 
following her retirement. Therefore, it is with great pleasure I join 
Bette Jane's coworkers, the city of Cudahy, and many friends in 
honoring her many years of service and contributions to the city of 
Cudahy.
  Best wishes, Bette Jane, and on behalf of the residents of the city 
of Cudahy, I offer a heartfelt ``thank you'' for your unselfish work 
over the years and for a job well done.
