Mr. Speaker, President Thomas Short of IATSE, the\nInternational Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees, ranks as one\nof the City of Cleveland's favorite sons. Cleveland is proud of his\nstrong, disciplined, patient leadership which has earned him the\ngratitude of the rank and file of the IATSE, the appreciation of all\ninternational labor leaders, and the respect of those who sit across\nthe table from his I/A team.\n  As a member of the labor committee of the United States Congress and\nas a member belonging to IATSE Local 660 (when you are in politics it\nis always good to have another trade) I know first hand the powerful\nand positive impact Tom Short has had in protecting and advancing the\neconomical, social, and political rights of working men and women.\nPresident Short achieves success for his members through making the use\nof principle, a practical and pragmatic goal.\n  As a veteran of both labor and politics, I am aware of the challenges\nwhich confront my brothers and sisters in the entertainment world.\nSurely this, the most dynamic of all industries, with so many\nexceptional individuals blessed with depth of talent and breadth of\nvision--surely you can call upon the limitless reservation of spiritual\nand creative energies always available to you, to design an environment\nof benevolence and co-operation where all are winners in the collective\nbargaining process.\n  Over thirty years ago, when I began my career in public service, I\nworked closely with Tom Short's father, Adrian, who led Cleveland's\nstage hand union. Adrian Short introduced me back then to his sons,\nDale, a labor leader in his own right, and Tom, our honoree.\n  How very proud your father would be of this well deserved moment of\ngrace, Tom, for you embody every dream he had--in your quest to elevate\nthe dignity of all working people.\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-2000-12-15-pt1-PgE2199"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.3984901122748852, "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"}
