Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay\ntribute to Mr. John Ford, the current President and Business Manager of\nthe International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving\nPicture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States,\nIts Territories and Canada (IATSE). Mr. Ford is being honored at\nTaminent Regular Democratic Club's 85th Annual Dinner Dance with the\nMan of the Year Award.\n  The IATSE was founded in 1893 when representatives of stagehands\nworking in eleven cities met in New York and pledged to support each\nothers' efforts to establish fair wages and working conditions for\ntheir members. The union has since evolved to embrace the development\nof new entertainment mediums, craft expansion, technological innovation\nand geographic growth. Today, the over 130,000 members work in all\nforms of live theater, motion picture and television production, trade\nshows and exhibitions, television broadcasting, and concerts as well as\nthe equipment and construction shops that support all these areas of\nthe entertainment industry.\n  John Ford is a third generation member of IATSE Local 52 Motion\nPicture Studio Mechanics, and he has been a member since 1978. He\nserved on the Executive Board as the Property Department Representative\nfrom 1992 to 1998. Mr. Ford also served as Secretary and Treasurer from\n1999 to April 2004.\n  In addition to serving as the President and Business Manager since\nApril 2004, John Ford serves as a Trustee on the Motion Picture\nIndustry Pension and Health Plans. Mr. Ford presently serves as a\nTrustee on the Local 52 401k Plan. He also currently serves as the\nInternational Vice President of the Executive Board of IATSE, a\nposition to which he was elected in July of 2006.\n  The entertainment industry has played a strong role in our great city\nby providing good paying jobs to thousands of workers. IATSE ensures\nthat stagehands receive fair pay and good benefits for their essential\nwork.\n  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the\nextraordinary work that John Ford has done for the IATSE and his larger\nimpact on the great city of New York."]], "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-2016-12-27-pt1-PgE1740-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 11.718456982634962, "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"}
