                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                            HON. JERRY MORAN

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 19, 2006

  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the service 
of a distinguished Kansan, Edward Lawrence ``Larry'' Winn, Jr. 
Congressman Winn honorably represented the residents of the Third 
Congressional District of Kansas from 1967 until 1985. His career in 
Congress was marked by his care for the Kansans he represented and 
accentuated by noteworthy accomplishments.
  Kansans are people that know the value of a hard day's work--
Congressman Winn included. During his eighteen years of service in 
Congress, Congressman Winn always worked to ensure taxpayer's dollars 
were spent wisely. He knew the folks back home had worked hard and 
expected their taxes to not be wasted. The Treasury Department 
recognized Congressman Winn's efforts for fiscal responsibility by 
awarding him the Golden Bulldog Award each year he served.
  Congressman Winn also made sure that Kansans were well-informed about 
what was happening in Washington. As a former radio broadcaster, 
Congressman Winn taped a weekly radio program that was distributed to 
local broadcasters in Kansas. His popularity and reputation for 
excellence in constituent service was evident by frequently seeing ``I 
visited Congressman Larry Winn in Washington'' bumper stickers.
  During his service in the House, Congressman Winn was a strong 
supporter of our nation's space program. As a member of the House 
Committee on Space and Aeronautics, Congressman Winn's support for 
space exploration and scientific discovery, helped give NASA the 
resources it needed to achieve the great accomplishments it did.
  I am proud to be a sponsor of legislation to recognize this fine 
Kansan. For his dedication to the people of Kansas and our nation, it 
is appropriate that Congress honor Congressman Winn by designating the 
United States Post Office at 6029 Broadmoor Street in Mission, Kansas, 
as the ``Larry Winn, Jr. Post Office Building.''
