  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to rise today 
to honor my friend Duncan McCoy by entering his name in the 
Congressional Record, the official record of the proceedings and 
debates of the United States Congress since 1873. Today, I honor Duncan 
McCoy for his service to the Boulder City community and congratulate 
him on his retirement.
  Duncan has dedicated his life to enriching the lives of others and 
sharing his passion for reading. Duncan is a veteran librarian with 
over 38 years of experience and he became Director of the Boulder City 
library in 1989. Upon becoming Director, Mr. McCoy has continuously and 
tirelessly advocated for the Boulder City Library. His tenacity and 
hard work paid off when he was able to secure bond funding to help the 
library move into a much larger building to expand its growth.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor my friend Duncan McCoy. His vision 
and commitment to excellence have greatly enriched the Boulder City 
community and allowed many of our friends and neighbors to experience 
the joys of reading. I applaud his efforts and wish him the best in his 
future endeavors.
