                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 13, 2006

  Mr. MOORE of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend Jim DeHoff, who 
is retiring after almost 20 years as Executive Secretary-Treasurer of 
the Kansas AFL-CIO.
  Mr. DeHoff has served as Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Kansas 
AFL-CIO since 1987. Previously, he served as Vice-President of the 
Kansas State Pipetrades Association, and served on the Lawrence Central 
Labor Council and the State of Kansas Apprenticeship Council.
  Throughout his career, Mr. DeHoff was committed to the working 
families of Kansas, and to providing them with a safer workplace, job 
opportunities and health care.
  In recent years, Mr. DeHoff worked tirelessly to unite all working 
men and women and to resolve some of the divisions among various labor 
organizations.
  Working families in Kansas owe much to Jim DeHoff for the 
opportunities and benefits they now enjoy. All of Kansas is a better 
place to live and work thanks to the efforts of men like Jim.
  I wish Jim the very best in a retirement well earned and deserved.
