                RECOGNITION OF SERVICE BY MAYOR SMIGLEY

 Mr. SMITH of Oregon. Mr. President, I would like to take this 
time to recognize 34 years of public service by Mayor Bill Smigley of 
Veneta, OR. I personally would like to thank Mayor Smigley for his 
commitment and hard work and wish him all the best in his retirement.
  Mayor Smigley served as city councilman for 18 years and mayor for 16 
years, but has also shown a life-long dedication to improving not only 
his community but the State of Oregon. His service as chairman of Lane 
Council of Governments and his 16-year contribution to the League of 
Oregon Cities is a testament of his commitment to making Oregon's 
future brighter for all of us.
  I speak on behalf of many Oregonians across the State who look to 
Mayor Smigley's public service as a source of inspiration and hope that 
even in his retirement he will continue to work on future endeavors 
that will benefit our great State.
