I wish to recognize the outstanding achievements of Daniel J. ``Duke'' McVey, of Jefferson City, Missouri.

Duke McVey has been a truly outstanding civic leader for the AFL-CIO and for the State of Missouri.

In the 17 years he has headed the Missouri AFL-CIO, he has raised the level of involvement by unions in governmental affairs.

October 1999 has been designated as National Cooperative Month.

He has truly served his community and country with great dedication.
