                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 24, 2007

  Mr. TIBERI. Madam Speaker, It is with great pleasure that I recognize 
the 100th birthday of Mr. Howard E. LeFevre.
  Such a milestone is certainly deserving of recognition. Mr. LeFevre 
has been an eyewitness to some of the most tumultuous events in human 
history. Two World Wars, the birth and demise of the Soviet Union, the 
first flight of an airplane, and space travel are all examples of 
events that have transpired in his lifetime.
  His life has been marked by his service and generosity. Service to 
others and service to the community are timeless American traditions 
and hallmarks of what has made our nation so great. Mr. LeFevre's 
leadership and strength of character have enhanced every organization 
under his care and positively influenced countless members of our 
community.
  Mark Twain was right when he observed, ``Only he who has seen better 
days and lives to see better days again knows their full value.''
  Please allow me to join his family and friends in wishing him all the 
best.
