                                 ______
                                 

           MILWAUKEE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL

 Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, today I recognize and congratulate 
the Milwaukee Building and Construction Trades Council, MBCTC, on the 
occasion of their 100th anniversary.
  For the past 100 years the MBCTC has literally built Milwaukee. Many 
of today's notable Milwaukee landmarks and buildings like the Petit 
National Ice Center, the Performing Arts Center, the Bradley Center, 
County Stadium, then Miller Park, Potawatomi Bingo and Casino, the Port 
Washington and Elm Road Generating Stations and most recently the 
Marquette Interchange are owed to the tireless work of members of the 
MBCTC.
  Not only has the MBCTC truly had a hand in shaping the Milwaukee we 
know and love today but it has done so while tending to its membership, 
the men and women of the building trades who make it all possible. The 
MBCTC remains true to its founding principles to represent its members 
in the building and construction trades for justice on the job, better 
wages and never sacrificing quality for its customers. For a century, 
their true commitment to members and their families as well as to our 
Milwaukee community has stood on solid foundation.
  On behalf of our State and Nation, I join this centennial celebration 
in recognition of the Milwaukee Building and Construction Trades 
Council. Let us honor their hard work and long history of building up 
Milwaukee into a great place to visit, work, live and raise a 
family.
