                            MR. PAUL HEMMER

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute and congratulate Mr. 
Paul Hemmer of Northern Kentucky, who was recently honored with one of 
the ``Movers and Shakers'' awards for the Greater Cincinnati area. Mr. 
Hemmer life accomplishments and dedication to the Commonwealth of 
Kentucky have given me reason to be proud.
  Following his graduation from Saint Xavier High School, Mr. Hemmer 
entered the University of Cincinnati where he later earned his Bachelor 
of Science in Civil Engineering. He has held a variety of positions 
within the construction industry including general contracting, 
development, design/build and plan/spec with experience in the 
industrial, institutional, commercial, and residential fields. His is 
currently retired as the chairman of Paul Hemmer Companies.
  Throughout his life, Mr. Hemmer has always been active in civic 
affairs in Northern Kentucky. He has been an integral part of his 
community serving as director for the Northern Kentucky Chamber of 
Commerce, a trustee for Thomas More College, a trustee for the Literacy 
Network of Greater Cincinnati, and the United Way chairman for Northern 
Kentucky.
  The ``Movers and Shakers'' award of Northern Kentucky is an annual 
award presented to honor those within the Greater Cincinnati region who 
stand as an example for all. It is presented by the Kentucky Enquirer, 
the Sales and Marketing Council of Northern Kentucky, The Home Builders 
Association of Northern Kentucky and The Kentucky Post.
  As a Senator from Kentucky, I appreciate the devotion Mr. Hemmer has 
shown over the years to the citizens of Kentucky. I commend his efforts 
and hope his example of dedication and hard work will serve as an 
inspiration to the entire State.
