                       TRIBUTE TO JANET TRAUTWEIN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 7, 2004

  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. I rise today to pay tribute to Janet 
Trautwein for receiving the Gordon Memorial Award presented by the 
National Association of Health Underwriters. Since 1949, The National 
Association of Health Underwriters have been recognizing individuals 
that have generously and selflessly given their time and effort to the 
health insurance industry and the financial protection they provide to 
millions of Americans.
  Janet Trautwein is well deserving of this award. She has served the 
association well as a staffer, but more notably in her years of 
uncompensated service as a former agent and active volunteer NAHU 
member in the state of Texas. Ms. Trautwein has exemplified the 
character of the Gordon Memorial Award by working hard to better the 
insurance industry without expecting anything in return.
  Mr. Speaker, today, more than ever, volunteers are coveted members of 
our communities, selflessly giving their precious time and effort for 
the greater good. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Janet 
Trautwein for her service and for receiving the Gordon Memorial Award 
from the National Association of Health Underwriters.
