  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor that I stand before you 
today to recognize the achievements of a fine college professor, Mark 
Peplowski, in Henderson, NV. He has dedicated himself to the service of 
Henderson students through his loyalty to the Community College of 
Southern Nevada. Beginning with his appointment as an adjunct professor 
in 1976 he has been determined to make Henderson, NV a better place by 
dedicating his career to Community College of Southern Nevada.
  During his career as an adjunct professor and a professor, he has 
created programs to bring his students into the political world by 
providing ways for them to travel to our Nation's Capitol to work and 
meet with the many leaders of our Nation. He has been there as a mentor 
and counselor to his students in helping them accomplish their career 
goals in politics.
  Mark Peplowski has also had a long-term goal of creating a Grass 
Roots Institute of Politics at the Henderson campus to give students 
from all backgrounds a chance to participate in and understand the 
political process with the opportunity to get involved in government.
  I commend Mark Peplowski for his dedication to his students and his 
loyalty to his country. He has demonstrated that he is an effective 
teacher and has continuously taught his students the meaning of good 
government through his example and dedication to learning.
