                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 7, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and applaud 
Frank Lay for his outstanding service over the years to our community.
   Frank's career spans over 57 years in diverse business and political 
environments. Some of his accomplishments include teaching for seven 
years at Utah Technical College, 10 years as vice president of the Utah 
Building Trades and president of the Western Apprenticeship 
Coordinators Association. Frank's leadership and guidance during his 
tenure as president of the Utah AFL-CIO had an enormous positive impact 
on working families. Frank continues to bring the same diligence and 
compassion to the senior citizens of our community. Frank is a tireless 
advocate for the issues facing senior citizens and makes sure Colorado 
legislators, state and federal, are aware of the issues they face.
   Though Frank Lay is resigning as president of the Colorado Alliance 
for Retired Americans, I know he will remain a champion for the 
community. I am honored to recognize him for his devotion to the middle 
class, protection of seniors and dedication to the public good. I am 
sure he will have the same unwavering commitment and enthusiasm to 
future endeavors. Thank you for your service, Frank.
