                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                         RECOGNIZING ROY LEWIS

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I rise today in order to 
respectfully recognize the selfless actions of Roy Lewis, a long-time 
resident of Ashland, KY.
  For the last 10 years, Mr. Lewis, 91 years-young, has been the man 
who every Monday evening hands out tickets at the Community Kitchen in 
Ashland, KY. Mr. Lewis has been a dedicated and loyal member of the 
First Baptist Church in Ashland since 1936 and fulfills his ticket 
duties at the Kitchen only after honoring his commitment as a member of 
the church teller committee, which counts and prepares the church's 
Sunday offering to be deposited in the bank. He also regularly teaches 
Sunday School and serves as the church clerk.
  I ask my fellow Members of the Senate to furthermore join me in 
congratulating Mr. Lewis for being named Deacon Emeritus and Trustee 
Emeritus last year, and for his 53 years of diligent and undaunted 
service to the church and the community.
  Instead of enjoying his retirement from Ashland Oil by playing golf 
or traveling, Roy Lewis has chosen to give back to the community and 
people he has so dearly loved for 91 years. I praise Mr. Lewis for his 
willingness to put other's needs ahead of his own and thank him for 
having such a strong character and heart.
