                          HON. EARL BLUMENAUER

  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Madam Speaker, Bob Tackett has been a cornerstone of 
Oregon's

labor movement for the past 12 years, heading up the Northwest Oregon 
Labor Council. This is an important forum for union members to come 
together, plan, and mobilize important support.
  Bob has helped keep those communications on an even keel. He provided 
a welcoming forum for friends of labor to connect with the varied and 
diverse membership of the council. I often saw Bob on the frontlines of 
action; on a picket line, for instance, to rally and encourage the 
troops.
  Throughout his tenure, Bob has continued to be a positive and 
productive force. He is part of the glue that keeps our local labor 
movement together.
  Bob will be greatly missed as he transitions into the next stage of 
his career, hopefully at a somewhat more leisurely pace. We deeply 
appreciate his leadership, his friendship, and being such a decent 
human being.
