SERGEANT BOB BRYANT AND LUC COUTURE EXEMPLIFY NEW HAMPSHIRE'S COMMUNITY 
                                 SPIRIT

  (Mr. BASS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BASS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the New 
Hampshire Fish and Game Sergeant Bob Bryant and Luc Couture of the New 
Hampshire Department of Transportation and more than 550 friends and 
neighbors who searched the woods of Berlin, New Hampshire, through the 
early morning hours on May 25 to find 3-year-old Cameron Patry. 
Sergeant Bryant and Mr. Couture found the young boy after he had been 
lost for more than 20 cold and rainy hours in the dense woods. These 2 
State of New Hampshire employees, along with hundreds of volunteers who 
helped with the search, best exemplify our community's spirit, 
camaraderie, compassion in New Hampshire and all of America. Although 
cold, wet and tired, young Cameron was found in good shape and returned 
to his worried parents.
  To Sergeant Bryant, Mr. Couture and all those who gave their time, 
prayers and comfort to the Patry family I would like to express my 
sincere appreciation, as does the grateful State of New Hampshire and 
Congress.
