                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 9, 1999

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, over the course of my career in the 
Congress, I have had the good fortune of knowing some of the most 
committed and impassioned volunteers. No one has done more than this 
year's Clinton Township Democratic Club Honoree Hal Brewer. I have 
known Hal Brewer for twenty years now. Through the course of that time, 
Hal has proven himself to be one of the most dedicated, reliable, and 
fun loving volunteers we have ever seen.
  Not only has he provided Democrats in the state of Michigan with 
countless hours of folding, stuffing, labeling, tree bagging, walking, 
cheering and sign posting, but he has also managed to raise his family 
with his same ethics and ideals. His son, Mark Brewer, a former intern 
in my office, has gone on to become the current chair of the Michigan 
Democratic Party.
  Hal's contribution has gone beyond the average work night or 
volunteer brunch. He has involved himself in every level of government, 
from helping his township treasurer to driving in Vice Presidential 
motorcades. Hal knows everybody, and everybody knows Hal. His sharp 
with and unequaled charm has put Hal on the top of everyone's call list 
when help is needed.
  Please join me today in honoring one of my district's most tireless 
advocates for democratic ideals. We salute you, Hal Brewer. Your work 
ethic and civic pride are an inspiration not only to me, but to all who 
know you.
