  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Bernard Olive, a respected and noble citizen of the city of Baytown.
  Mr. Olive has been devoted to serving his community and through his 
devotion has been nominated for The Baytown Sun's Citizen of the Year 
award. Serving as the Fire Marshall for the city since 1992 as well as 
the Emergency Management Coordinator from 1999 to 2007 he has displayed 
a true commitment in aiding his fellow neighbors in times of need.
  Along with his service Mr. Olive has shown an enthusiasm in 
volunteering throughout his community. Speaking to different 
organizations concerning hurricane preparedness, fire prevention, and 
other various topics he has become a source of knowledge that others 
seek for advice. Mr. Olive is a member of Cedar Bayou Masonic Lodge 
321, a member of the 6th Cavalry Association of Living History, and is 
a board member on the Hill of Rest Cemetery, as well as the Baytown 
Heritage Society.
  For his invaluable service to the City of Baytown community I extend 
my deepest gratitude, and honor Mr. Bernard Olive.
