                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 24, 1997

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues in the 
U.S. House of Representatives to join me in paying tribute to an 
outstanding individual, Mr. Stan Marshall. Mr. Marshall is being 
honored by United Automobile Workers Local 599 with the dedication of 
the Stan Marshall Union Hall on Saturday, September 27, 1997, in my 
hometown of Flint, MI. I am particularly pleased with this designation 
since UAW Local 599 was my father's local.
  Stan Marshall is a giant in the labor movement. His career with Buick 
Motor Division began in 1950 working on the assembly line. He began 
working with the United Automobile Workers as an alternative 
committeeman and quickly moved to the positions of committeeman, shop 
committeeman, and chairman of the shop committee. Stan was appointed to 
the International Union staff in Region 1C in 1977. In 1983 he was 
elected to the United Automobile Workers International Executive Board 
as the director of Region 1C.
  After two terms in this position Stan was elected as the United 
Automobile Workers vice-president in June, 1989. In this capacity he 
headed the union's Chrysler Department, the National Organizing 
Department, the General Dynamics Department, the foundry department, 
and the technical, office and professional department. He served in 
this position until his retirement in 1995.
  Stan Marshall has been a major influence in the Flint community. In 
addition to his duties with the United Automobile Workers, Stan has 
devoted numerous ours working for the betterment of everyone. He has 
been active with the American Red Cross, the March of Dimes, the United 
Way for Southeastern Michigan, the Metropolitan Detroit AFL-CIO, the 
Metropolitan Affairs Corp., the Economic Alliance of Michigan, and the 
Delta Dental Plan of Michigan. He is also the father of seven children.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise today to pay tribute to an 
individual as special as Stan Marshall. His outstanding leadership 
abilities and communication skills have served the members of the 
United Automobile Workers well. He is an inspiration to me and many 
other individuals. I treasure his friendship and value his advice. I 
know that by naming this great facility in his honor his union brothers 
and sisters are expressing their gratitude for his selfless dedication 
to our community.
