DAVID E. BONIOR\n\n                              of michigan\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Friday, December 15, 2000\n\n  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor a good friend of mine,\nMichigan State AFL-CIO COPE Director Paul Seldenright upon his\nretirement. Paul Seldenright has been standing up for working men and\nwomen for over 40 years, beginning in 1960 as a steelworker in Trenton.\nEvery day during that 40 years, the working families of Michigan have\nhad a champion in Paul. The political battles Paul has fought in\nLansing and in the State of Michigan have had a direct impact on the\nstandard of living for the working people in our State.\n  Paul's interest in politics led him to the position of chairman of\nhis local PAC in 1962. In 1973, after associating himself with several\nsuccessful political campaigns in Michigan, he began working for the\nMichigan AFL-CIO. He is a member of the A. Philip Randolph Institute as\nwell as the Coalition of Labor Union Women and a lifetime member of the\nNAACP.\n  I want it to be known that Paul Seldenright has dedicated his life to\nthe betterment of the working men and women of the State of Michigan.\nWhile I know Paul's retirement is well-deserved, his passion for\npolitics and his dedication to working families will not let retirement\ntake him from the causes he believes in and has fought for all his\nlife.\n  Please join me in honoring the career of one of Michigan's working\nheroes as Paul completes his final days as Michigan State AFL-CIO COPE\nDirector. Paul, we wish you all the best.\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-PgE2200"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 17.701588105410337, "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"}
