  Mr. EMANUEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the long and 
distinguished career of Dr. Michael H. Moskow. On August 31, Dr. Moskow 
will retire from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer 
of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago after 13 years of dedicated

  Born in Paterson, New Jersey, Dr. Moskow received his B.A. in 
economics from Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, in 1959 and a 
doctorate in business and applied economics from the University of 
Pennsylvania's Wharton School in 1965.
  Throughout his career, Dr. Moskow has succeeded in a wide realm of 
venues. His experiences range from serving on the faculty of 
Northwestern University's J.L. Kellogg School of Management to 14 years 
in senior management positions for three Chicago companies and 
appointment for public duty by the Senate on five different occasions.
  During his tenure as a public servant, Mr. Moskow would assume a 
series of important and influential roles. He served as a U.S. Trade 
Representative to Southeast Asia, Under Secretary of Labor at the U.S. 
Department of Labor, senior staff economist at the Council of Economic 
Advisors, Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research at 
the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Director of the 
Council on Wage and Price Stability, and finally, President and Chief 
Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
  Dr. Moskow also serves on a number of civic, professional, and 
educational organizations. Currently, Dr. Moskow is chairman of the 
National Bureau of Economic Research, as well as the director of the 
Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, the Council on Foreign Relations 
in New York City, the Northwestern Memorial Foundation, the Chicagoland 
Chamber of Commerce, and World Business Chicago. The list of 
organizations he has guided and served goes on and on.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Michael Moskow on his lengthy and 
influential career, and thank him for his many outstanding 
contributions to Chicago and the country as a whole. I wish him the 
best of luck and continued happiness in his retirement and all his 
future endeavors.
