                        Thursday, March 6, 2003

  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a 
man who affected the lives of many people in Kansas and across the 
country. This month we mourn the death of Mr. Milton Lloyd Morrison of 
Salina, Kansas. Milton Morrison was a quiet giant.
  A life-long Kansan, Milton was always true to his roots. He lived a 
life guided by the morals and values we hold dear: abiding faith, 
faithful service and absolute integrity.
  Milton's dedication to his community is renowned. Throughout his 
life, Milton took a lead role in making certain his community was 
progressive in pursuits of quality of life issues. His leadership and 
commitment to his church, college alma mater and professional trade 
associations were inspired by a favorite quote, ``Service is the rent 
we pay for the space we occupy in this world.''
  Milton was by every account a successful businessman. With a 
disciplined approach he directed Morrison Ventures, a leading grain 
storage and farmland investment operation. His management style was 
always marked with trademark methodical thinking and a keen emphasis on 
patience and perseverance.
  Most important to Milton was his family. Over the course of 65 years 
he and his wife Becky raised two sons, Roger and Richard, and devoted 
endless love and attention to six grandchildren and 12 great-
grandchildren.
  Milton Morrison made his community, state and nation a better place. 
I join his many friends and admirers in extending my deepest sympathies 
to Becky and her family during their time of loss.
