  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize community 
leader W.D. Lewis for being named ``Citizen of the Year'' by the 
Chandler-Brownsboro Chamber of Commerce.
  A veteran of World War II and the Korean war, Mr. Lewis occupies his 
time today volunteering in his community. In addition to being an 
active member of the Kiwanis Club, Mr. Lewis mentors children at 
Brownsboro Intermediate School and helps the court appointed special 
advocates provide Christmas gifts to children. Last year, he raised 
enough money to give Bibles to 192 children.
  Since moving to Brownsboro over two decades ago, Mr. Lewis has been a 
member of Leagueville Baptist Church and the Texas Freshwater Fisheries 
Center.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the Fifth District of Texas, I am honored 
to recognize Mr. Lewis for generously offering his time and talents to 
serve his community and for being selected ``Citizen of the Year.''
