                        Wednesday, May 16, 2018

  Mr. MOOLENAAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Andrew 
Liveris, the Chairman and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company, upon his 
retirement from the company.
  In his more than forty years with Dow, Mr. Liveris has been a 
recognized business leader and a leading advocate for manufacturing 
worldwide. Presidential administrations of both parties have recruited 
Mr. Liveris to serve as an advisor and have sought his expertise; Mr. 
Liveris served as co-chair of the steering committee for President 
Barack Obama's Advanced Manufacturing Partnership and served on 
President Donald Trump's Manufacturing Jobs Initiative.
  As Chairman and CEO, Mr. Liveris has continued The Dow Chemical 
Company's strong commitment to the Great Lakes Bay Region, proudly 
opening a new corporate headquarters in Midland. Dow's investment has 
helped the city grow into a vibrant community.
  Leading Dow's collaborations with numerous governments on advanced 
manufacturing plans and steering the company's investment and industry 
leadership around the world, Mr. Liveris has exhibited exemplary 
management at the helm of Dow. Under his leadership, the company 
weathered challenging economic times and completed a historic, 
transformational merger, moving the company forward for years to come.
  On behalf of the Fourth Congressional District of Michigan, I am 
honored today to recognize Andrew Liveris upon his retirement from The 
Dow Chemical Company and extend my appreciation for his commitment to 
Midland and the Great Lakes Bay Region.
