                       Thursday, October 27, 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 one family, their company and 
their donation. Jerry and Shirley McCormick, from Texas Manhole Company 
donated a refrigerator and dinner for 100 volunteers during hurricane 
Katrina.
  I stand here today to sincerely thank Jerry and Shirley McCormick for 
their donation. It is people like them that I am proud to call fellow 
Texans. Through their contribution, they not only stand as a devoted 
and giving American citizens, but they serves as an inspiration to 
others.
