                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 29, 2007

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of President 
Emeritus Daniel Rupp, for his 28 years of service as an officer of the 
National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch 40, where he 
devoted himself to the concerns and needs of the American worker.
  For 15 years, Mr. Rupp was the Administrative Vice President of the 
NALC. His continuous work and never-ending desire to support the labor 
community earned him the respect of his peers. Mr. Rupp served his 
position with dignity and honor. It was no surprise when he became the 
Executive Vice President, and then the President of the Cleveland 
Postal Employees Credit Union (CPECU).
  During the time Mr. Rupp was the President of the CPECU, he remained 
dedicated to addressing the concerns of the union while preserving the 
rights of the members. In addition to his tireless work with the CPECU 
he was a National Trustee delegate, and Branch 40 was well served by 
his leadership.
  Committed not only to the union, Mr. Rupp devoted himself to his 
family with the same intensity he had when representing the members of 
the NALC. He and Barb have been married for 45 years, and together they 
have raised four sons and a daughter. Now, they have the unending joy 
of doting upon their nine beautiful grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring President 
Emeritus Daniel Rupp for his enthusiasm and devotion to the American 
worker. His integrity, commitment to his brothers and sisters, and 
tireless work with the community have made an indelible mark on 
northeast Ohio, and we are grateful for his dedication.
