  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to recognize Mr. 
Dixon Long on the occasion of his 80th birthday on June 21, 2013. Mr. 
Long's many contributions as a board member and donor of the Strybing 
Arboretum in San Francisco, supporter of the Holden Arboretum in 
Mentor, Ohio, and supporter of the Trust for Public Land, have been a 
great benefit to our Nation's environment.
  In addition to his extensive involvement in these organizations, 
Dixon was also a professor of Political Science and dean of Western 
Reserve College, helping to educate the next generation of political 
thinkers and office holders. During his academic tenure, Mr. Long wrote 
extensively about the intersection of science, technology and public 
policy.
  Dixon's passion for writing moved beyond academia. He published a 
number of novels, short stories, and travel guides since returning to 
Mann County. His love of learning, passion for teaching, commitments to 
public engagement, and preserving the environment are worthy of 
commendation.
  Please join me in expressing deep appreciation to Mr. Dixon Long for 
his long and impressive career, and exceptional record of service.
