IN RECOGNITION OF BRADLEY W. BEAL, NEWLY ELECTED DIRECTOR ON THE BOARD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SHELLEY BERKLEY

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 5, 2000

  Ms. BERKLEY. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize my friend 
Brad Beal, the President and CEO of the Nevada Federal Credit Union, 
headquartered in my district in Las Vegas, for his recent election to 
the board of the National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU). 
Brad has been a leader in the Nevada credit union movement for over 14 
years and I am glad to see him receive this national recognition.
  For the last decade, Brad has served as the President and CEO of the 
Nevada Federal Credit Union, which has over $550 million in assets in 
17 branches throughout Nevada. In this role, Brad has been a leader for 
over 250 employees at Nevada FCU, and a leader for the credit union 
community, both in Nevada and at the national level. During my time in 
Congress, he has kept me fully informed about the issues of concern to 
the 77,000 members of Nevada FCU and credit unions everywhere. Brad has 
always been sure to take the time to meet with me when he is in 
Washington, D.C. or when I am in the District, to keep me and my staff 
updated.
  His election to the NAFCU board culminates a long career in the 
credit union industry. NAFCU is the national trade association that 
represents federal credit unions and ensures that their voice is heard 
in Washington. I congratulate my friend Brad Beal on his recent 
election to the NAFCU Board and look forward to continuing to work with 
him and America's credit unions. I know Brad will be an outstanding 
voice for credit unions everywhere.
