                              WSU SALUTES

  (Mr. BISHOP of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Speaker, Weber State University is honoring 
people, and I wish to mention four individuals who are being honored by 
the university.
  State Representative Gage Froerer and State Senator Scott Jenkins 
will be receiving the Shurtliff Award for contributions to education. 
Both of them have done much for their particular communities, as well 
as Weber State and their outreach campus in Davis County.
  Receiving the prestigious President's Award will be Nolan Karras, a 
cum laude graduate from Weber State who also served as speaker of the 
house in Utah and was instrumental in Weber State attaining the status 
of university level.
  In addition to that, he has benefited the community as well as the 
education system in Utah ever since by being on the board of regents in 
Utah.
  The second nominee will also be one who has been called one of the 
brightest minds in Utah politics, Spencer Stokes, a 1995 graduate from 
Weber State who has done much in his community as the commissioner as 
well as an advocate, and who's also, I have to admit, gone over to the 
dark side and is a staffer for the Senate right now as the chief of 
staff for a Utah Senator, but we will forgive him for that.
  These four individuals have done much for the community, done much 
for their common county, Weber County, and the State of Utah, and are 
really deserving, very deserving of these honors they are being given 
by Weber State University today, and I wish to honor them as well.
