                      Wednesday, September 7, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Bill Straub and Debra Meade for their many years of hard 
work and support toward the game of shooting, throughout the entire 
State of Pennsylvania.
  Bill and Debra have dedicated themselves to the game of shooting by 
holding several positions at the Pennsylvania Skeet Shooting 
Association (PSSA). Over the years, both Debra and Bill have occupied 
various offices at the PSSA, including Director, President, and Vice 
President. Currently, Bill is the Shoot Manager of the PA State Skeet 
Championships and Debbie holds the office of Secretary/Treasurer at the 
PSSA.
  The pair has also been very active in the National Skeet Shooting 
Association, both serving as Directors. Bill and Debra have left their 
mark on the sport in their own right. Bill has been named to the All 
American Skeet and PA State Skeet Teams, as well as earning an 
induction into to the PA Skeet Shooting Association's Hall of Fame. 
Debra, who has shot nearly 100,000 skeet targets, has garnered numerous 
accolades and Lady Championship Victories throughout her career.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring Bill and Debra. It is an honor to represent the 
Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute 
such dedicated citizens as Bill Straub and Debra Meade.
