                         Monday, July 27, 1998

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Don A. Horn, whose dedication to the labor movement and community of 
Houston deserve the utmost praise and admiration. From his extended 
tenure with the AFL-CIO in Harris County to the innumerable charity's 
and non-profit organizations he faithfully served, Mr. Horn's selfless

resolve to improve his environment serves as an example to us all.
  Mr. Horn is most notably recognized for his extended service on the 
Executive Board of the Harris County AFL-CIO, where he occupied the 
position of Secretary-Treasurer for over thirty years. During this 
epoch, Mr. Horn concurrently served on the Texas AFL-CIO Executive 
Board as a trustee for over a decade.
  Mr. Horn's merit, however, cannot be constrained to his mere 
occupational accomplishments. In the community, Don selflessly served a 
myriad of underprivileged and needy individuals in a multitude of 
capacities. Mr. Horn's altruistic efforts ranged from his extended 
service on the Harris County Hospital Board to his efforts to increase 
electoral participation among under-represented minority groups. Mr. 
Horn also volunteered countless hours to the United Way, serving on its 
Houston Area Board for several years, as well as the local chapter of 
the Boy Scouts of America. Today, Mr. Horn remains an active member of 
the community, serving on the City of Houston's Ethics Committee.
  I sincerely commend, and thank, Mr. Don Horn on behalf of the city of 
Houston and its people for his accomplishments, his dedication, and for 
his efforts to improve his community for posterity.
