                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK MASCARA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 18, 1999

  Mr. MASCARA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a special 
constituent from my district, Michael J. Schultz. Mike is a good friend 
and serves as a shining example of what can be accomplished through 
dedication and hard work.
  Mike was recently elected by his peers to lead the 12,000 employer-
member Pennsylvania Builders Association (PBA) into the next century. 
Based upon our personal and professional relationship, I do not believe 
PBA could be placed in more capable hands.
  Mike Schultz is a small businessman. He is the owner of Michael J. 
Schultz Construction and has been in the home building business for 32 
years. In a long and distinguished history with the PBA, Mike has 
served as vice president, secretary and treasurer. Additionally, he has 
served as the southwestern Pennsylvania regional vice president and 
chairman of the public relations/public affairs committee. In 1992, he 
was recognized as the PBA small contractor of the year, an award I know 
he cherishes.
  Mike has visited my Washington DC office on a number of occasions in 
his role as a member of the PBA's legislative committee and as a 
trustee for the National Association. Needless to say, he has been 
professional and convincing in his presentation on behalf of the home 
building industry. It is not surprising that he was chosen as a 
delegate for the White House Conference on Small Business in Washington 
DC.
  Therefore, I am pleased to be among those to honor Mike as he assumes 
his duties as the President of the Pennsylvania Builders Association. 
Mike, I wish you success in this post and as always, I look forward to 
working with you and your association as we move into this millennium. 
I am proud that you are one of my 20th Congressional District 
constituents.
