                       Thursday, October 11, 2001

  Mr. KNOLLENBERG. Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to Mr. Robert G. 
David, a notable citizen of Northville and a constituent in Michigan's 
Eleventh Congressional district. Mr. David has served his community 
with distinction and honor and has recently been bestowed with two 
special awards.
  In 1997, while still an undergraduate at Michigan State University, 
Mr. David initiated the Campus Walking Tour program that would 
eventually foster the creation of the present Student Alumni 
Foundation. Since this graduation in 1978, Mr. David founded his own 
business, the David Group, and he is an executive producer to the 
nationally syndicated Glenn Haege radio show. In addition, Mr. David 
has co-chaired Celebrate Northville, which organizes the Fourth of July 
Parade and fireworks for the city, served as president of the Broad 
School Alumni Association Board of Directors, and been an elected 
precinct delegate.
  Mr. David has been honored by his Alma Mater with two prestigious 
awards. In 1999, the president of Michigan State presented Mr. David 
with the Alumni Service Award. This

award is presented to alumni who have demonstrated continuing 
outstanding volunteer service to MSU and public service on a local, 
state, national, and international level. A year later, Mr. David was 
honored by the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State 
University with the Outstanding Alumnus Award for distinguished service 
to business, education, and the public.
  Mr. David continues to serve the community and through his dedication 
and hard work to the people of Michigan, he is a prime example of the 
kind of people that we need in our community. I congratulate David on 
his fine achievements and awards and wish nothing but the best in his 
future endeavors.
