                      A TRIBUTE TO JIMMY DEE CLARK

  (Mr. NEUGEBAUER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a great 
American. Jimmy Clark has served this country and particularly the 19th 
District with distinction for 23 years. Starting off with former 
Congressman Larry Combest and now serving as my deputy chief of staff, 
Jimmy has served with great pride and excellence the people of this 
district. It is a large district. He has traveled many miles to 
represent and make sure that the constituents of the 19th District have 
the great service that they deserve.
  Jimmy brings to the table a lot of experience. And over the 23 years, 
he helped put valuable input from his farming background into four farm 
bills, valuable input that helped shape what I think is good policy for 
this country.
  We are going to miss Jimmy Clark. We are going to miss his service to 
the district. When people talk about Jimmy Clark, they talk about 
someone of great honor and character and someone who is always willing 
to help. We wish Jimmy and his lovely wife, Rita, all the best as they 
embark on a new journey in their life. All of us from the 19th 
Congressional District, and really the people of the United States of 
America, thank Jimmy Clark for his great service to his country.
