                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. PAUL RYAN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 11, 2008

  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Paul Weyrich for his many 
contributions to the cause of freedom and liberty. Mr. Weyrich is the 
proud son of Racine, Wisconsin--a city that I have the privilege to 
represent in the U.S. House of Representatives. Wisconsin has a long 
tradition of challenging the prevailing political sentiments, and 
producing intellectually-curious, reform-minded leaders. Paul Weyrich 
is one such leader.
  As a pioneer of the modern conservative movement, Mr. Weyrich has 
consistently served as a vocal defender of our economic and religious 
freedoms. On September 10, 2008, I had the unique opportunity to show 
my respect and admiration at the Paul Weyrich Legacy Dinner in 
Washington, D.C. On behalf of those I represent in Racine, Wisconsin, I 
extend my gratitude to this great American.
