                     TRIBUTE TO DELBERT F. REYNOLDS

 Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, today I recognize and congratulate 
Delbert F. Reynolds on his retirement as the field office director of 
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development office in 
Wisconsin.
  For the past 41 years, Mr. Reynolds has dedicated himself to helping 
others through his work with HUD. During his tenure, he served under 
eight Presidents and 13 of the 15 HUD Secretaries. In 1987, he became 
director of the Milwaukee Field Office, where he coordinated and 
oversaw all programs assigned to the office. His 23 years in this 
position make him the longest serving field office director in 
Milwaukee's history and an asset to our State that will be greatly 
missed.
  While director, Mr. Reynolds has contributed significantly to HUD and 
its programs. His insight and experience lead to his selection as 
special adviser to HUD policymakers. In Wisconsin, he created many 
successful programs, which were then incorporated on a national level.
  Mr. Reynolds's leadership and dedication have not gone unnoticed by 
his peers. He has received numerous awards for his service, including 
the Manager of the Year Award and the Vice President's National 
Performance Review--Hammer--Award in 1998. Given to those who work 
towards a better government, this award recognized Mr. Reynolds for his 
team's efforts on Section 8 financial management. His awards reflect 
not only his contributions to HUD and our Nation but also his 
commendable work ethic.
  A native of Milwaukee and an alumnus from the University of 
Wisconsin, Mr. Reynolds exemplifies dedication to providing quality, 
affordable housing to the people of Wisconsin and public service at its 
finest. On behalf of our State, I extend my heartfelt appreciation for 
the 41 years of service Mr. Reynolds has provided.
