                       Thursday, February 7, 2008

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Thomas K. 
Fleming. Mr. Fleming, of North Richland Hills, Texas, after 13 years of 
service, has recently retired from S.C.O.R.E., the Service Corps of 
Retired Executives.
  Mr. Fleming helped to establish the local North Richland Hills 
chapter of S.C.O.R.E. in 1995. Under his leadership, S.C.O.R.E. has 
offered small business seminars and one-on-one counseling to owners and 
prospective owners of small businesses at the North Richland Hills 
Public Library for more than a decade.
  Under Mr. Fleming's leadership, S.C.O.R.E. has helped thousands of 
small business owners in the North Richland Hills area by giving them 
expert, no-cost, confidential counseling to improve the chances of 
their small business success. The local economy owes many thanks to Mr. 
Fleming's guidance.
  While his time with S.C.O.R.E. is coming to a close, I am confident 
Mr. Fleming will continue to enrich the city of North Richland Hills as 
a devoted resident. I am privileged to join his family, friends, and 
coworkers in extending my sincere congratulations on his retirement.
  Again, Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize Thomas K. Fleming for 
his diligent work as a dedicated serviceman to his local community. I 
am honored to acknowledge such a committed and altruistic citizen. It 
is the servant leadership of Mr. Fleming, and those like him, which 
truly makes our nation great.
