                        Wednesday, June 6, 2001

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it has come to my attention that Corporal 
Everett Morgan, of Lafayette County, Missouri, recently retired from 
the Missouri State Highway Patrol after 35 years of outstanding 
service.
  Corporal Morgan has dutifully served the citizens of Missouri for 
three decades. He was born in Corder, Missouri, and later graduated 
from Corder High School. Corporal Morgan then attended Central Missouri 
State University. In 1963 Everett joined the U.S. Army and served for 
six years at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and Fort Still, Oklahoma. 
While serving in the U.S. Army, Corporal Morgan attended and graduated 
from Missouri State Highway Patrol Recruit Training.
  Corporal Morgan's first assignment was to Troop A, in Jackson County, 
Missouri. He served Zone's 1 and 4 before being promoted to Corporal 
and assigned to Zone 7. Corporal Morgan served the last five years in 
the Gaming Division until retiring on April 1, 2001.
  Mr. Speaker, Corporal Morgan has dedicated 35 years to the Missouri 
State Highway Patrol, serving with honor and distinction. I know that 
the Members of the House will join me in wishing him all the best in 
his retirement.
