                         HONORING ROBERT RACLIN

  (Mr. DONNELLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DONNELLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember the 
life of Robert Raclin. Bob's service to his country and his family's 
service to South Bend are unparalleled. His family is well known for 
their business leadership and philanthropy through our community.
  Bob joined the Marines in 1940 and served our country during World 
War II. His dedication to country and community continued long after he 
completed his military commitment.
  Bob showed leadership in all his work, serving as a director, 
chairman, or president with a number of organizations. Bob also served 
the Federal Government as Deputy Undersecretary of Health and Human 
Services during the Reagan administration.
  Bob Raclin was a devoted husband, a loving father, and an invaluable 
citizen of this country. On behalf of all the citizens of the Second 
District of Indiana, I want to thank Bob Raclin for his many years of 
service to our region and our country.
  It is my honor to rise and recognize Bob's achievements during his 
long and faithful life. May God bless Robert and all those that he 
loved.
