                 HONORING LETTER CARRIER RICHARD LEAKE

  (Mr. CONAWAY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CONAWAY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge an 
outstanding achievement of one of my constituents, Mr. Richard Leake of 
San Angelo, Texas.
  Mr. Leake is a long-serving letter carrier with the United States 
Postal Service. He was recently inducted into the Million Mile Club of 
the National Safety Council in recognition of his impossibly good 
safety record.
  As the name of the award states, Mr. Leake has traveled over 1 
million miles on behalf of the Postal Service and done so without 
causing an accident. His dedication to getting the job done safely 
every time sets a standard for professionalism and conscientiousness 
that I believe we should all strive for.
  I highlight his accomplishment today to remind us that as we take up 
the people's business in the 111th Congress, it is possible for us to 
do our jobs without running over one another.
  It is a great pleasure to brag on Mr. Leake today, and I am proud to 
represent an outstanding constituent here in Washington D.C. On behalf 
of all the residents of District 11 in Texas, I would like to 
congratulate him on a career well done and thank him for making the 
streets of San Angelo a little bit safer.
