                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                        TRIBUTE TO TODD SCHNUCK

 Mr. BLUNT. Mr. President, I rise today to honor a St. Louis, 
MO, resident whose name and family are synonymous with supermarkets 
across the Midwest. Todd Schnuck, a dedicated community and business 
leader, is being honored with the Glen Woodard Award for Outstanding 
Leadership in Public Affairs by the Food Industry Association.
  Todd Schnuck is the third family member of the third generation of 
Schnucks to be CEO and chairman of Schnucks Markets, Inc., and has been 
a community and industry advocate since entering the family business in 
the late 1980s. During the next 30 years, his leadership built Schnucks 
into the food industry leader it is today.
  Todd joined the family business after college in 1987 to help 
facilitate new acquisitions for the company. Over the next two decades, 
he would help Schnucks build its footprint throughout the Midwest 
through acquisitions and expansion. Schnucks has over 100 stores today 
and employs 15,000 associates spanning five States. In 2014, Todd was 
named CEO and chairman of Schnuck Markets, Inc., holding the same 
position his grandfather did when he started the company in 1939.
  Along with the terrific work Todd has done for the business of 
Schnucks, he has been an even greater community leader. Todd has not 
only made Schnucks an employer of choice in the State of Missouri, but 
has worked closely with the United Way of Greater St. Louis. He is also 
currently chairman of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and 
holds board seats with the Opportunity Trust and the Arch to Park 
Equity Fund.
  I know firsthand what a strong advocate Todd is for the food 
industry. He is in a unique position to be a credible voice for the 
supermarket industry, spending his career leading and growing the 
family business. I congratulate Todd on the Glen Woodard Award for 
Outstanding Leadership in Public Affairs.
