                        Wednesday, June 13, 2001

  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of the late 
Mr. Fred Wenger, an outstanding citizen and dedicated community leader 
in Delaware County, Indiana for three decades. I join his lovely wife 
Karen and three children in expressing gratitude for his loyal service 
as an Indiana State Representative.
  Mr. Speaker, ask everyone in the Indiana General Assembly about the 
legacy of Mr. Wenger and they will unanimously refer to his gentle 
soul. He was dedicated to building strong constituent relationships and 
stronger Christian values.
  Mr. Wenger's powerful faith influenced all of his work at the State 
House. He routinely voted his conscious for each of his three years in 
office. His passion for public service made him an inspiration to all 
of his colleagues. He is not only deeply regarded, but also deeply 
loved.
  Mr. Speaker, I respectfully ask my colleagues to join me in paying 
tribute to this respected man who helped make selected communities of 
east central Indiana the pleasant places they are today. Indiana will 
miss Mr. Fred Wenger.
