                        Thursday, March 29, 2007

  Mr. KING of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bob 
Beckwith on the upcoming celebration of his 75th Birthday on April 
16th. Bob personifies the very best of the FDNY and has been a source 
of strength for so many grieving Americans, whether he was standing 
with President Bush at Ground Zero just days after September 11th or 
traveling across the country to raise funds for the New York 
Firefighters Burn Center Foundation. I wish him all the best and I am 
proud to call him my friend!
