                   HONORING WILLIAM ``BILL'' SCHULTZ

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor William ``Bill'' 
Schultz. Bill is an educator who has dedicated over three decades, 
specifically 34 years, to teaching in Maine, New Hampshire, and New 
York. Upon retirement, he has dedicated his energies and talents to 
other retirees.
  Bill was a leader in the labor movement and served two terms as 
president of the Niskayuna Teachers Association in my congressional 
district. Serving 8 years as president of Retiree Council 12 of the New 
York State United Teachers Association, Bill was influential in 
organizing the council.
  Bill's leadership, dedication, compassion, and knowledge have had a 
profound influence on the lives of the students he has taught, the 
retirees for which he has advocated, and the friends he has made along 
the way.
  In 1921, John Cotton Dana said, ``Who dares to teach must never cease 
to learn.'' It is in this spirit that Bill will be honored later this 
month.
  I commend and congratulate him on all his efforts and hope his 
service and dedication can stand as a model and inspiration for 
countless others. After all, our future and our children's future are 
only as good as those who teach them.
