                          TRIBUTE TO BOB BUSH

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK GREEN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 14, 1999

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time 
to briefly say a few words in honor of Bob Bush--a man whose 
contributions to the Green Bay community over the past five decades 
have been enormous.
  After 53 years with Schreiber Foods, my friend Bob Bush is finally 
stepping down as Chairman of the Board. During his time at Schreiber, 
Bob has built not only a great company, but a great team of 3,600 
employees.
  As one man, Bob Bush has done plenty to improve the quality of life 
in northeastern Wisconsin. But as a leader, Bob Bush has done even 
more. Bob serves as a shining example for the rest of us--someone who 
has been successful not only in his profession, but in his community 
life. The example he has set ensures that his long legacy of giving 
something back to the community will be carried on through the 
generations of people he has touched.
  Bob's service and achievements are almost too numerous to be able to 
list here, but I'll try to provide a few highlights . . .
  He's served as an officer, director, president, CEO and chairman of 
Schreiber Foods.
  He's served on or chaired the boards of the Green Bay Packers, 
Firstar Bank, YMCA, Junior Achievement, United Way, National Cheese 
Institute, Marine Bank, St. Norbert College and many, many others.
  He's served on the Allouez School Board and the Green Bay Water 
Commission.
  And he and his wife Carol have given us four Bush children and 
fourteen grandchildren--all of whom are poised to continue his special 
legacy into the next millennium.
  Bob, of course, managed all this in his ``free time'' while running 
one of the most successful companies in our area--think about all he'll 
be able to do now that he's retiring.
  So, on behalf of all the people whose lives have been touched by Bob 
Bush, I'd like to say ``thanks, Bob''--for all you've done and for all 
you'll do during this well-deserved retirement.
