                         HON. THOMAS M. BARRETT

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 7, 1997

  Mr. BARRETT of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, today, I ask the House to join 
me in congratulating Stanton J. Bluestone the 1997 recipient of the 
American Jewish Committee's Institute of Human Relations award.
  Stanton started in retail at Shillito's Department Store in 
Cincinnati, in 1957. His rise through the industry took Stanton and his 
family to New York, Illinois, Indiana, and finally Wisconsin. Today, as 
Chairman of the Board and CEO of Carson Pirie Scott & Co., Stanton 
Bluestone oversees a chain of 56 department stores from the company's 
Mulwaukee headquarters. Throughout his career, his creativity, his 
dedication, and his unique ability to bring out the best in his 
assocates have earned Stanton the respect of his coworkers and peers.
  The AJC's Institute of Human Relations Award recognizes not only 
Stanton's personal

and professional successes, but also his many volunteer civic 
contributions. Stanton has demonstrated caring and stewardship in each 
of the communities along his journey, and his career exemplifies the 
ideal of commerce in the public interest. He presently serves on the 
boards of the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, 
the Greater Mulwaukee Committee, and he serves as treasurer for the 
Milwaukee Jewish Federation.
  I have great respect for Stanton Bluestone and his wife Judy and I 
can confidently say that the AJC could not have made a better 
selection. I am honored to join Stanton Bluestone's many friends and 
admirers in offering congratulations on this important and richly 
deserved honor.
