                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 12, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Fred Klipsch for his 
contribution to our state.
  Fred is an institution in our state and is widely regarded as one of 
our state's top political minds. Fred built an extraordinary career in 
business. And, I worked closely with Fred as the President and CEO of 
School Choice Indiana, where we successfully passed one of the largest 
school choice programs in the country. Together, we helped improve 
education oportunities for hundreds of thousands of Hoosier kids and 
Hoosier families.
  On a personal note, I've had the pleasure of knowing Fred for more 
than two decades. He is my friend and mentor. It is not exaggeration to 
say that when I grow up, I hope to be a whole lot more like Fred 
Klipsch. He is a strong leader who brings positive results everywhere 
he goes.
  I want to thank Fred for his friendship and loyalty to me over all 
these years. I wish Fred and Judy continued success in all that God has 
planned for their family.
