                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 7, 2001

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, Hal Shoup, one of the key leaders in the 
advertising industry, a man who is both a professional colleague and 
good friend of mine, is retiring and moving to his mountain top home in 
Marshall, Virginia.
  Hal is not actually a native of my home state of Ohio. He spent the 
first few years of his life in Michigan, but spent much of his 
professional career as the head of one of the largest advertising 
agencies in Cleveland, Ohio. As president of Liggett-Stashower, he 
played a major part in the rejuvenation of downtown Cleveland and was 
involved is the social and cultural rebirth of the area.
  When he moved to Washington in 1989 as Executive Vice President of 
the AAAA's office, he brought with him the same reputation for 
integrity and humor that made him such a leader in Cleveland. I should 
add, he also brought with him the same very effective golf game.
  Hal has been an insightful and thoughtful industry spokesman and a 
highly respected representative of the advertising agency business. I 
would like to extend to Hal Shoup warm congratulations on his 
retirement.
