  Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to the Rev. Msgr. Clyde 
Holtman on the occasion of his retirement. The Reverend Holtman was 
born in Westphalia, Texas. He was also baptized, made his First 
Communion, was confirmed, was ordained to the priesthood May 15, 1949, 
and offered his first Mass in the Church of the Visitation in that same 
community.
  Msgr. Holtman has served in eleven parishes in the Austin Diocese for 
over 50 years. He has also served as Dean of the LaGrange Deanery, 
Judge of the Marriage Tribunal, Diocesan Resettlement Director, 
Diocesan Consultant and President of the Infirm Priest's Fund.
  On May 30, 1985, Msgr. Holtman was invested as a Prelate of Honor in 
the Church by Pope John Paul II.
  Msgr. Holtman has touched thousands of lives in the central Texas 
area. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Reverend Holtman 
on his retirement.
