             SALUTE TO HURRICANE VOLUNTEERS AT DFW AIRPORT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 26, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute those individuals 
and organizations that opened their hearts and dedicated both financial 
and emotional support to the evacuees of Hurricane Katrina and 
Hurricane Rita. All of the States along the gulf coast have endured 
terrible hardships during this hurricane season, and I know that the 
generosity of North Texans played a vital role in bringing some peace 
into their lives.
  Today, I want to specifically thank the DFW Airport and their 
donation during Hurricane Katrina. Jeffrey Fegan, the CEO of DFW, and 
Ken Capps, the Vice President of Public Affairs, sent six DFW 
firefighters to relieve others at the New Orleans Airport. These 
firefighters were Adrian Garcia, Darren Himes, Jacob Evens, Terry Cole, 
Dan White and Sullivan McNulty.
  I stand here today to sincerely thank the DFW Airport for their hard 
work and help during the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. It is people 
like them that I am proud to call fellow Texans. Through their 
contribution, they not only stand as devoted and giving American 
citizens, but they serve as an inspiration to others.
