                                 ______


                          HON. BILL SARPALIUS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 1994

  Mr. SARPALIUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a great 
American, a great Texan, and a great resident of the 13th Congressional 
District of Texas. Doug Meador, a retired rural letter carrier from 
Borger TX, is admired and loved by everyone who has the privilege of 
knowing him.
  The residents of Borger attest to the fact that Doug is one of those 
rare people who always has an optimistic attitude and tries his best to 
help anyone he knows through difficult times. I personally consider him 
one of the finest individuals I have ever met. He is constant in his 
friendship and tireless in his efforts to help others.
  In the past year Doug and his lovely wife, Johnnie, have been faced 
with adversities that might have made lesser people despair, but they 
have faced great odds with unwavering faith and determination to go 
forward and live life to the fullest.
  This Saturday, September 17, 1994, a group of loyal friends in Borger 
will be honoring Doug's dedication by observing ``Doug Meador Day.'' I 
join them in this tribute and offer a sincere thank you to Doug for his 
friendship.
