                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 26, 2006

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kirk V. Clausen for 
his leadership as the regional president of Nevada for Wells Fargo 
Bank.
  Kirk has worked for Wells Fargo Bank in various capacities since he 
was 14 years old. In his childhood hometown of Sioux City, Iowa, Kirk 
worked for Norwest Bank, now Wells Fargo, delivering calendars and 
performing other odd jobs. During college, Kirk worked the night shift 
as a teller. By the time he graduated from college, Kirk was managing 
all three teller lines during all three shifts. Due to his adeptness, 
Kirk was asked to participate in the bank's management training 
program, and so began his bank management career. Today, Kirk is 
responsible for more than 11 Wells Fargo banks across Nevada.
  Despite demands on his time, Kirk is also very active in the 
community and has served on numerous community boards, including the 
Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada, EDAWN.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Kirk V. Clausen. His combination of 
professional success and community activism is exemplary. I applaud his 
efforts and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
