  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor my friend Glenn 
Christenson, who, retired on March 30, 2007, after serving as chief 
financial officer of Station Casinos for 17 years.
  During his time as CFO of Station Casinos, Glenn was instrumental in 
helping the company dramatically increase its holdings and develop into 
an important gaming company. When Glenn joined Station Casinos the 
company held one casino. After 17 years of Glenn's guidance and 
leadership, the company now holds 16 casinos in southern Nevada and an 
American Indian casino in northern California.
  For his efforts with Station Casinos, Glenn has been recognized as 
the Top Chief Financial Officer in gaming and lodging the past 2 years 
by Institutional Investor Magazine. He was also named to the Nevada 
Society of CPAs Hall of Fame for Business and Industry in 2001 and was 
recognized as one of the Most Influential Businessmen in southern 
Nevada by In Business magazine in 2002.
  Glenn is very much involved with a number of important civic 
organizations. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Las 
Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Board of Directors of the 
National Center for Responsible Gaming, the Board of Directors of 
Problem Gaming Consultants, the Board of Trustees of the Nevada 
Development Authority, the Board of Directors of the Nevada State 
College, the Board of Directors of Nevada Community Bancorp, and is an 
advisor to the UNLV Business School.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor my friend Glenn Christenson. His 
contributions to the Las Vegas business and civic communities are 
commendable and I wish him the best of luck in his retirement.
