                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 2, 2000

  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Speaker, this month, Mr. Clarence E. Eger marked his 
50th year as a Cresson Township Supervisor.
  During this half-century of public service, Mr. Eger has worked day 
and night on all facets of Township activity--always willing to help, 
and always anxious to serve the people in the region. Such service has 
resulted in an extremely high quality of community service.
  The type of dedication to public service shown by Mr. Eger serves as 
a hallmark of the kind of selfless dedication and commitment that are 
the very heart and spirit of the United States of America. We're 
fortunate in our area to still have such strong commitment from so many 
individuals, and it's one of the characteristics that make communities 
like Cresson Township one of the best places to live.
  It's an honor and pleasure for me to commend Mr. Eger on his 50 years 
of public service, and to make these remarks as a reminder to all 
Americans of how this type of dedication can improve the lives of so 
many people, produce tremendous progress in a community, and serve as 
the guideposts that keep our Nation the greatest in the world.
  I congratulate Mr. Eger and wish him many more years of service.
