                              MILAN PUSKAR

  (Mr. McKINLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, this past week, West Virginia experienced 
a tremendous loss. Milan ``Mike'' Puskar, cofounder, former chairman 
and CEO of Mylan Labs in Morgantown and the namesake of WVU's Milan 
Puskar Stadium, passed away.
  Mike was not only a visionary entrepreneur who grew Mylan into the 
largest generic drug manufacturer in America, but he also was a beloved 
philanthropist who was passionate about our Mountain State. He was an 
extremely committed supporter of West Virginia University and gave 
selflessly of his time and treasure to the academic and athletic 
programs there.
  Milan had a kind heart and lived his life with the utmost integrity. 
The life he lived and the legacy he left behind have left West Virginia 
a better place for our children and grandchildren.
  My wife, Mary, and I, as well as all West Virginians and Mountaineer 
fans across this country, will keep Mike and his family in our thoughts 
and prayers. He will be missed by all.
