                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                        TRIBUTE TO ALAN CAMERON

 Mr. CRAPO. Madam President, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding work of Alan Cameron, who is retiring from serving as 
president and chief executive officer of the Idaho Credit Union League.
  Alan has skillfully led the Idaho Credit Union League since 2000. 
Prior to serving as president and CEO for the Idaho Credit Union League 
and its wholly owned subsidiary League Services, Inc., he devoted more 
than 20 years to serving as the league's retained legal counsel and 
lobbyist. Before joining the Idaho Credit Union League, he graduated 
from the University of Idaho's College of Law, served as deputy 
prosecuting attorney with the Ada County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, 
and had a private practice.
  Alan has given considerable time as an indispensable part of the 
community and represented the interests of Idahoans at the State and 
national levels. This includes his service on committees and task 
forces for the Credit Union National Association and his service as a 
member of the Federal Reserve Board's Consumer Advisory Council. He 
also served as treasurer of the Hispanic Financial Education Coalition, 
treasurer of the Consumer Information Council, and as a board member 
for the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Idaho. We are fortunate 
to count Alan as a fellow Idahoan.
  Throughout his career, Alan has been a widely respected and 
thoughtful leader. I have greatly valued his input and advocacy on 
behalf of Idaho's credit unions as we have worked together over the 
years. I especially appreciated the considerable amount of input and 
hard work that Alan invested into helping me craft and move my 
regulatory relief legislation. The Idaho Credit Union's release about 
his retirement included a fitting recognition of Alan's exemplary work:

       The League's Board and staff have thrived under Cameron's 
     leadership. His passion for credit unions and their members 
     have been a beacon during a time of increasing regulatory 
     burden and financial upheaval. He is a trusted friend and 
     voice of reason to state government, business owners, 
     regulators and credit union leaders.

  Thank you, Alan, for your remarkable service to Idaho and our Nation. 
I hope that your retirement will provide you with well-earned time to 
travel with your wife Janet and many good times with your family and 
friends. Congratulations on your retirement. I thank you for your hard 
work and wish you a very happy retirement.
