                     Wednesday, September 24, 2003

  Mr. PEARCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bob Carter for 
receiving the 2003 Governor's New Mexico Distinguished Public Service 
Award. To know Bob Carter is to respect him. He is a public servant, a 
leader, a statesman and a friend.
  Bob and his wife, Glenda, moved to Lovington, New Mexico in 1971 and 
have been an instrumental part of the community. He held the job of 
Lovington economic development director before becoming assistant city 
manager, and then city manager. In 1992, Bob was named citizen of the 
year by both the Board of Realtors and the Lovington Chamber of 
Commerce.
  Bob now works for the good people of Southern New Mexico as the 
District Outreach Director in my office. He travels the entire district 
listening to the concerns and the visions of my constituents. Thanks to 
his background and expertise in city government, he works especially 
hard to facilitate economic development opportunities in Southern New 
Mexico.
  Bob has left his trademark on our communities for his love of God, 
family, state and country. I thank him for his services and for his 
dedication to making life better for the people of Southern New Mexico.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in recognizing 
and congratulating Bob Carter, a remarkable man who has selflessly 
served his community and fellowman. God Bless him and his family.
