  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today 
to honor a truly dedicated public servant, Mr. Alfred A. Szala, the 
registrar for the town of Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
  Mr. Szala has been a member of the Dartmouth Board of Registrars for 
51 years and its chairman for over 30 years. He and his wife, Cecilia, 
have been happily married for 55 years and are proud to call Dartmouth, 
Massachusetts, home.
  For a half-century, Mr. Szala has honorably served the people of 
Dartmouth. He has witnessed many elections over the past five decades 
and strongly believes it is everyone's civic responsibility to vote. 
His life has been dedicated to community service and he is a true role 
model for the next generation of leaders.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I honor Mr. Szala in the 
United States House of Representatives. He has given so much back to 
his community and for this we are all very grateful. Best wishes to him 
and his wonderful family.
