  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Andrew Liveris 
in recognition of his 60th birthday on Monday, May 5, 2014.
  Originally from Darwin, Australia, Andrew currently resides in my 
hometown of Midland, Michigan with his wife Paula and three children. 
Mr. Liveris has been an instrumental figure at The Dow Chemical Company 
for over 35 years, serving in a myriad of positions spanning three 
continents. He is currently the company's President, Chairman, and 
Chief Executive Officer. Under his guidance, the Company has continued 
unparalleled success across the globe, in addition to being a key 
employer in Midland. He is a true visionary and an innovative leader in 
the field of manufacturing.
  In addition to his success at Dow, Mr. Liveris has carried on and 
expanded the company's culture of community outreach to improve the 
quality of life of all Midland residents. The company continues to play 
a crucial role in the vitalization of the City of Midland, sponsoring 
local events such as the Dow Tennis Invitational and the Midland 
Community Center's Dow RunWalk. With strategic planning and a focus on 
the lives of those within the company and the community, Mr. Liveris 
has taken to new heights, the important relationship, and friendship, 
between Dow and Midland.
  On a national scale, Mr. Liveris is an advocate for expanding the 
important role of manufacturing in our economy and his expertise 
expands well beyond his work at Dow. He serves as co-chair of President 
Obama's Advanced Manufacturing Partnership in the United States, where 
he continues to present viable business policy solutions for economic 
growth.
  As a successful business leader and community organizer, Mr. Liveris 
has received numerous awards including the Chemical Industry Medal by 
the Society of Chemical Industry, the CEO of the Year award at the 
Platts Global Energy Awards, and the George E. Davis Medal by the 
Institution of Chemical Engineers. Most notably, he has been identified 
for his influence in the global chemical markets as a Top Power Player 
by the ICIS Chemical Business magazine for several consecutive years.

happiness, and success.
