                            MAYOR CLAY HENRY

  (Mr. GALLEGO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GALLEGO. Madam Speaker, earlier I was on the floor and I 
mentioned Clay Henry as one of the former elected officials in the 
district that I represent. I referred to him as the mayor of Terlingua; 
and you would think having grown up there and lived there all of my 
life, I would have remembered that he was actually at one time the 
mayor of Lajitas. Lajitas is a wonderful resort community in the Big 
Bend Country, right next to Terlingua. Perhaps I had too many visits 
with Mayor Clay Henry.
  I will tell you that one of the most beautiful parts of the world and 
one that I urge everyone to get familiar with is the Big Bend Country 
of west Texas: the Rio Grande River, the canyons. It is an amazing 
place. I urge everyone to get familiar with that part of the world, as 
there is really nothing like it in the entire United States.
