  Mr.  PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Barney Wehr for his 
long and distinguished nursing career.
  Barney has been a nurse for the past 35 years. Over the course of her 
career she has worked in the Operating Room, Post Anesthesia Care Unit 
and as a Labor and Delivery nurse. Barney has been working at Boulder 
City Hospital as an Endoscopy nurse for over 10 years.
  During her tenure at Boulder City she greatly contributed to the 
start up and development of the GI Department. Barney also belongs to 
the Endoscopy RN Society and uses this professional affiliation to help 
keep the department current on the latest technology. She is admired by 
both her peers and patients, and regarded as knowledgeable and 
experienced. Barney is recognized within the Boulder City Community as 
one of the best nurses in the community. She is a true asset to Boulder 
City Hospital and the nursing profession.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Barney Wehr for her professional 
expertise and significant contributions to the art of nursing. I wish 
her the best in her future efforts.
