                            HON. BOB FILNER

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 19, 2000

  Mr. FILNER. Mr. Speaker, and colleagues, today I recognize Bill 
Tweet, as he is honored by the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor 
Council, AFL-CIO, at its 12th annual Worker's Memorial Dinner with its 
Labor to Neighbor Award.
  As Business Manager of Ironworkers Local 229, Bill has been one of 
Labor to Neighbor's strongest supporters. This vital program educates 
and involves union members and their families in the campaign to 
protect jobs and the future of working people in San Diego and Imperial 
Counties. By sponsoring the annual Labor to Neighbor Golf Tournament, 
Bill has helped to raise funds for member education and voter 
registration programs. Ironworkers Local 229 has also been a leader in 
staffing phone banks, walking precincts, and registering union members.
  Bill's dedication to strengthening the Labor to Neighbor Program and 
the San Diego


area's labor unions is an inspiration and example for us all. My 
congratulations go to Bill Tweet for these significant contributions.
