                          HON. JAMES M. TALENT

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 18, 1998

  Mr. TALENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Henry 
Clever, Jr., who will be retiring from private practice on April 30, 
1998. I hope you will join me in honoring his fine career and in 
wishing him a happy and healthy retirement.
  He and his wife, Roseann, have been married since June of 1956, and 
they have eleven children and 21 grandchildren. Not only has he 
distinguished himself with an impressive career in pediatric medicine, 
he has been a leader in his community for well over thirty years.
  Dr. Clever graduated from the University of Missouri Medical School 
in 1960, and started his private practice in St. Charles, Missouri, in 
1963. He was the second pediatrician to open an office in St. Charles 
County. Since that time, he has been actively involved with numerous 
professional and community organizations dedicated to serving the 
residents of St. Charles County. Among these organizations are: the 
American Academy of Pediatrics, the Missouri State Medical Association, 
the St. Louis Pediatric Society, the St. Charles County Association for 
Retarded Citizens, the Handicapped Facilities Board, the Missouri 
Mental Health Commission, the Four County Mental Health Board, the 
Board of Directors for Duchesne Bank of St. Peters, the Advisory and 
Endowment Board for Duchesne High School, Youth In Need, the St. 
Charles County Board of Trustee's for Mental Health, the March of 
Dimes, and the United Services for the Handicapped.
  He has also distinguished himself with his service to the Archdiocese 
of St. Louis. Dr. Clever has served on numerous committees for the 
Archdiocese including being a past-president and member of the St. 
Louis Archdiocese's Board of Education. His service as the co-chair of 
the Archdiocese's Pro-Life Committee has been an inspiration to all of 
us in the St. Louis area who are fighting to protect the lives of the 
unborn.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope you will join me in congratulating and thanking 
Dr. Clever for his service to his patients, his community, his faith, 
and his family. He is truly a great humanitarian, leader, and citizen.
