                       Tuesday, January 16, 2007

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor E. 
David Foreman, Jr., who is retiring after a life of dedicated service 
in both the private advocacy sector and to the Republican Party.
  David has had a long history of service to both the Republican Party 
of Virginia and the Republican National Committee. This record is well 
documented and has come full circle from his initial role as chairman 
of the Fairfax County Republican Party from 1970 to 1976 through his 
most recent role as the party's senior consultant.
  During his political career, David also served on numerous 
exploratory, steering, advisory and finance committees for countless 
Republican candidates for local, State, and national office. Most 
notably, David was chairman of Americans for Bush in 1990 as well as 
chairman of the Credentials Committee at the 1996 Republican National 
Convention.

  It was easy for ``those in the know'' to recognize that Mr. Foreman 
was a true player in local and national politics. David has been 
featured in the Who's Who in American Politics, Who's Who in 
Washington, Who's Who in Virginia Politics, as well as Who's Who in 
Politics in the South and Southwest.
  David's love for politics complimented his knack for policy. This was 
demonstrated through his extensive work as a congressional and 
administration lobbyist for numerous American corporations. Through his 
role as founder and president of Foreman & Associates, David was able 
to effectively represent his clients in their interactions with State, 
local, and Federal officials as well as all Federal agencies.
  While compiling this impressive legacy of private and political 
service, David was a loving and dedicated husband to his wife Rosemary 
Foreman, and father to his two children, Sheryl Olecheck and E. David 
Foreman III.
  Madam Speaker, in closing, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
applauding E. David Foreman, Jr., and congratulating him on his 
deserved retirement after a distinguished career of service.
