                    HONORING GOVERNOR JOHN ANDERSON

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JERRY MORAN

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 2006

  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise this evening to honor the 
work of Governor John Anderson, a man who chose a life of public 
service. His service to Kansas and the United States was spread across 
the middle part of this century and spread across the three branches of 
our government.
  After being educated by both Kansas State University and the 
University of Kansas he began his career as a public servant by joining 
the staff of U.S. District Court Judge Walter Huxman. Continuing with 
the judicial branch, Governor Anderson was elected as Johnson County 
Attorney in 1947. His election to Kansas State Senate in 1953 gave him 
the opportunity to serve as one of Kansas' state legislators for three 
years. Governor Anderson was appointed as Kansas Attorney General in 
1956 and was then elected Governor in 1960.
  During his two years in the state's top position, Governor Anderson 
used his diverse government experiences to help reform and restructure 
several institutions, including: the state's pardon and parole systems; 
the public welfare system; and the state's public school system.
  I would encourage my colleagues in the House to join me in honoring 
this public servant by passing H.R. 4674, to designate the facility of 
the United States Postal Service located at 110 North Chestnut Street 
in Olathe, Kansas, as the ``Governor John Anderson, Jr. Post Office 
Building.''
