                     RECOGNIZING L. ROBERT KIMBALL

 Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, I would like to take a few moments 
to recognize the contributions of a community leader from my home State 
of Pennsylvania, Mr. L. Robert Kimball. Bob Kimball's name has become 
synonymous with high-quality work that clients have come to expect from 
the architecture, engineering, technology, and consulting firm that he 
founded 55 years ago in his home town of Ebensburg, PA.
  The firm's professional services are well known both in Cambria 
County and among the public and private marketplaces it serves. Far 
less recognized are the contributions that Bob makes to his community.
  In addition to his involvement on the boards of various civic, higher 
education, and professional organizations, his support extends to the 
fine and performing arts, education, athletics, youth organizations, 
community economic development initiatives, and health and human 
service agencies. His generosity is not limited to monetary 
contributions and sponsorships. He also encourages active participation 
by his staff in community activities. Bob wants to make sure that his 
firm never forgets its small-town foundation.
  Under his leadership as founder, Bob places a high priority on 
treating clients, staff, and the community with consideration, 
appreciation, and fairness. These core values are among the key 
components of the firm's success.
  Bob Kimball has enjoyed a successful career and has continuously 
shared that success, experience, and guidance with the community in 
Cambria County. He has distinguished himself as a

business leader, an accomplished professional engineer, a successful 
entrepreneur, and a dedicated family man.
  On behalf of the United States Senate, we recognize Mr. L. Robert 
Kimball's commitment to his community in Ebensburg, PA.
