                        TRIBUTE TO JIM SCHUETTE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK GREEN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 15, 1999

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to briefly provide some 
comments about a great friend of the people of northeastern Wisconsin, 
and a personal friend of mine--Jim Schuette.
  This month marks the end of Jim's term as Outagamie County Executive, 
a position he has held for the last three years.
  But Jim's history of serving the people goes back a full 45 years--
and we're truly fortunate he decided to dedicate his life to public 
service.
  As a young man, Jim joined the U.S. Marine Corps and later went on to 
serve for 19 years with the U.S. Army Reserves.
  For most of his working life, Jim delivered letters for the U.S. 
postal service--and was always a smiling face folks could count on.
  For the 12 years before he became county executive, he served on the 
Outagamie County Board, where he earned a reputation for approaching 
problems with his trademark common sense.
  I couldn't dream of letting this occasion go by without telling Jim 
how much his time and hard work have meant to me and to the people of 
northeastern Wisconsin.
  So, on behalf of myself and the countless other people whose lives 
have been made brighter by Jim's efforts, I want to say ``thanks!''
