                         Tuesday, May 16, 1995
  Mr. BLILEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend and pay tribute to a 
good friend and servant to the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia, 
Mr. Peter Clendenin. On June 30 of this year, Peter will end more than 
12 years of service as president of the Virginia Health Care 
Association, a nonprofit association that represents assisted living, 
nursing facility, and subacute care providers throughout the State of 
Virginia.
  For the 3 years preceding his tenure at the Virginia Health Care 
Association, Peter served the Commonwealth as assistant secretary of 
human resources where he oversaw the development of the budgets for 15 
State agencies responsible for implementing security, manpower 
development, mental health services, and rehabilitation services for 
the people of Virginia.
  Peter began his service to the Commonwealth in 1975 as a senior 
legislative analyst with the Virginia Joint Legislative Audit and 
Review Commission where he worked for 4 years as project director of 
program evaluations.
  Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to share with my colleagues 
the many contributions Peter Clendenin has made to the people and 
government of Virginia, and to wish him well on his future endeavors.
