                         REMEMBERING BOB SHORT

  (Mr. SNYDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SNYDER. Mr. Speaker, Bob Short died yesterday. Most people don't 
know the name Bob Short, but if you go back several decades and think 
back to the beginning of the first book series, ``The Gospel According 
to Peanuts,'' you are reading Bob Short.
  I got to know him later in life when he began attending my wife's 
church at Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church in Little Rock, 
Arkansas, just a few years ago. He developed an illness several months 
ago, and we lost a great American, a man who had great impact on the 
thinking of a lot of Americans, particularly those who loved Charlie 
Schultz and the Peanuts comic strips. Bob Short will be missed.
