                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BOB CLEMENT

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 9, 2002

  Mr. CLEMENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. John J. Dietz of 
the Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County Public School System. He is 
leaving his position this month in order to move closer to his family 
in Michigan.
  As Deputy Director and Executive for Business and Auxiliary Services 
with the school system, Dietz has guided the business and financial 
matters for the district since 1994.
  He is widely known and respected for his honesty, good character, and 
his careful and conservative fiscal management, as well as his 
dedication to serving the community and the district's 69,000 students.
  Dietz and his wife Wendy have both contributed greatly to the school 
district--he in administrative services, and she, as a Metro teacher. A 
history buff, he enjoys reading and researching the Civil War during 
his leisure time.
  He will take a new position next month as business manager for the 
Rochester, Michigan public schools. Dietz is to be commended for his 
outstanding efforts on behalf of the citizens of the 5th Congressional 
District through his professionalism and integrity. May he enjoy 
success in all of his future endeavors.
