         A MOMENT OF SILENCE IN THE MEMORY OF ARLAN STANGELAND

  (Mr. PETERSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. PETERSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to announce to the House the 
loss of another of our former Members of the House of Representatives, 
the Honorable Arlan Stangeland, who served the Seventh District of 
Minnesota prior to me, from 1977 to 1990. He passed away last Tuesday 
in our district.
  He lived about 20 miles south of where I live. Before he came to 
Congress, he was in the Minnesota House of Representatives. Arlan 
served on the Agriculture Committee, and he served

on the Transportation Committee. He rose to senior level on both of 
those committees, and he did a tireless job in working for the farmers 
and for the rural people in the Seventh District of Minnesota. Since 
1990, he had been enjoying living in the lake country of Minnesota. He 
loved to play bridge and loved to spend time with his family, including 
his sons and daughters and grandchildren.
  So I wanted to let the House of Representatives know that one of 
their former Members had passed, and would it be appropriate for us to 
have another moment of silence?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Rodney Davis of Illinois). The Chair 
would look to the gentleman from Minnesota to lead any moment of 
silence.
  Mr. PETERSON. Mr. Speaker, I ask the Members to rise for a moment of 
silence.
