                   HONORING LOUIS AND LuJUANNA CARNEY

 Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate my good 
friend, Louis Carney and his wife LuJuanna. Just last week, the 
Carneys, who live near my family's home in Idaho Falls, celebrated 
their 50th wedding anniversary. I am honored to know them and pleased 
that I was asked to join the celebration.
  I can think of no better way to commemorate their 50 years together 
than to mention that they are the proud parents of eight children, six 
who are still with us--Don, Nancy, Bob, Terry, Kevin, and Kenneth; and 
two who have rejoined their Heavenly Father--Laurie Ann and Jean Marie; 
the even prouder grandparents of fifteen; and the great grandparents of 
one. It speaks very highly of their commitment to each other and their 
family that so many of their family members were on hand to mark the 
occasion. Louis has been a very good friend to me over the years, and I 
appreciate his wisdom and guidance on many matters. He has been a 
strong supporter of the Boy Scouts of America program, and I share his 
enthusiasm for this program which can be so important in helping young 
men to learn new skills and achieve goals.
  Louis and LuJuanna have been important members of our community. They 
are always available for those who are in need. They radiate happiness 
and contentment, and can be counted on by not only their friends, but 
so many others. I am proud to mark their anniversary, and even more 
pleased to call them friends.
