[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 145 (1999), Part 16] [House] [Page 23347] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN: THE ALL-AMERICAN CITY (Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, on a lighter topic, in my district last weekend we received formal recognition of what we from Green Bay have known for a long time, our area is one of the best places in America to live. Thanks to the National Civic League and Allstate Insurance, who sponsored this wonderful program, Green Bay was named an All-American City. Our area does indeed represent the very best of grass-root citizen involvement, creative community effort, and collaborative problem solving the three key qualities embodied by this award. I am proud to say that Green Bay is on the march, taking aggressive steps to meet its challenges in the most innovative ways we can. Those who live in Green Bay want to put the rest of the Nation on notice, there is another key quality of character we hold dear: The relentless pursuit of excellence. The All-American City award is not the end of a journey but merely another milepost in a longer journey to make sure that our area is the greatest place in the world to live, and we will not rest until we get there. ____________________
