                         Tuesday, July 26, 1994

  Mr. COSTELLO. Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor to pay tribute to a 
respected member of the 12th Congressional District of Illinois, Mayor 
Erwin ``Red'' Becker of Evansville, IL.
  Mayor Becker was honored earlier this year by the Evansville Chamber 
of Commerce as Citizen of the Year for his outstanding leadership, 
during the Great Flood of 1993. Mayor Becker should be congratulated 
for his exceptional work to help his neighbors and local businesses 
coordinate the relief efforts of last year's flood. In addition, his 
contribution to the economic development of the Evansville riverfront 
has set in motion a plan to rebuild Evanville's historic downtown area.
  Mr. Speaker, this gentleman has served the public with dedication and 
integrity, and I would like to offer my thanks to Mayor Becker for his 
contributions. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Evansville 
Mayor Erwin ``Red'' Becker.
