  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize George 
Bayless, of St. Joseph, Missouri. Mr. Bayless was recently recognized 
by the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, for his innovation in 
developing fishing products.
  George developed ENVIO-WEIGHTS material for fishing tackle and other 
weights out of a desire to reduce lead in the environment. This 
innovative product earned Mr. Bayless the recognition from the National 
Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame. Mr. Bayless is involved in many other 
endeavors, including efforts to provide a fishing experience to 
disabled veterans.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing George 
Bayless, whose innovations in fishing equipment have been truly 
exceptional. It is truly an honor to serve Mr. Bayless in the United 
States Congress.
