                          MRS. FLORENCE TREPP

  (Mr. GIBBONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, I come to floor of the House of 
Representatives to congratulate my good friend and wonderful Nevadan, 
Mrs. Florence Trepp on her 80th birthday. This very special lady has 
dedicated much of her life to public service and various charitable 
causes, including working with abused children. Most notably, Florence 
has been an active supporter of the Parasol Community Foundation. A 
foundation founded by her son Warren in 1996, the Parasol Foundation is 
a unique organization promoting philanthropy, collaboration and 
volunteerism in the Lake Tahoe area. This foundation has been 
successful in ensuring that local charities with common or similar 
missions work together to improve their community and achieve their 
goals.
  Florence Trepp's dedication to her community and to her family stands 
as a role model for all of us. So, Florence, from all of us who admire 
you, from all of us who love you, and from the United States Congress, 
happy birthday.
