                       COMMENDING ROBERT P. PAGE

  (Mr. MELANCON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MELANCON. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time to commend 
Mr. Robert P. Page, an outstanding citizen and business leader from 
Houma, Louisiana. He is about to complete his term as president of the 
National Association of Insurance Agents. Mr. Page has distinguished 
himself throughout his career as a professional insurance agent, even 
serving as president of the Professional Insurance Agents of Louisiana, 
and he has exhibited only the highest standards of honesty, integrity 
and professionalism.
  Despite suffering personal losses as a result of hurricanes Katrina, 
Rita and Gustav, Mr. Page has provided uninterrupted service to the 
clients of his insurance agency in Houma, going above and beyond the 
call of duty to assist his fellow citizens, who also suffered 
devastating losses as a result of the hurricanes.
  Mr. Page is a tireless advocate of developing a national consensus to 
come up with a better mechanism to deal with natural catastrophes 
throughout the United States, serving as a founding member of the 
Professional Insurance Agents Natural Task Force. With his years of 
hard work and dedication, Mr. Page has earned the respect and 
admiration of his many colleagues throughout the insurance industry, as 
well as exemplified the motto of his insurance association, ``Local 
Agents Serving Main Street America.''
  Therefore, I would like to congratulate and commend Robert P. Page of 
Houma, Louisiana, upon the successful completion of his term as 
president of the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents.
