HOWARD L. BERMAN\n\n                             of california\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                      Thursday, December 17, 1998\n\n  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Bud Mauro,\nwho has just completed his term as President of the Southland Regional\nAssociation of Realtors. Bud leaves with a remarkable record. During\nhis tenure, San Fernando Valley realtors experienced one of their most\nproductive years in memory, as a housing slump gave way to a housing\nboom. I'm sure Bud's leadership was a key reason for the stellar\nperformance of the Valley real estate industry in 1998.\n  Bud had both the experience and background to be a successful\nPresident. His real estate career began in 1972, the same year he\nbecame a member of the Association. Beginning in 1978, when he joined\nthe Grievance Committee, Bud steadily rose through the ranks. He served\non the Professional Standards Panel, Ethics and Arbitration Policy\nCommittee and the Board of Directors.\n  Bud is a person of considerable charm and an intimate knowledge of\nthe real estate business. Both traits served him well as President. He\nmotivated more than 200 members of the Association to serve on various\ncommittees and task forces. I know firsthand how important such groups\nare in keeping politicians and community leaders informed about the\nAssociation and the condition of the real estate industry. Bud was also\nactively involved with the seminars and training sessions that are such\nan important part of the Association's function.\n  Bud played a big part in upgrading the technological capacity of the\nAssociation. He worked to expand and improve computer efficiency, and\nhelped to develop the Association's own web site by establishing\ncooperative marketing agreements with the California Living Network and\nREALTOR.Com.\n  I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Bud Mauro, who compiled an\noutstanding record as President of the Southland Regional Association\nof Realtors. His leadership skills and dedication to his work are an\ninspiration to us all.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1998-12-17-pt1-PgE2337"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.9201859142631292, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
