                        Thursday, March 13, 2014

  Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
birthday of my friend and treasured member of the gulf coast community, 
Mr. Simon Urbanic, who will turn seventy years old on March 15, 2014. 
Simon is a resident of League City, Texas along with his lovely wife, 
Pamela.
  Born on Galveston Island in 1944, Simon has committed himself to 
being a successful business owner, principled conservative and devoted 
follower of Christ. He also served our country honorably in the United 
States Navy as an Opticalman 3rd Class. Simon continues to be a devoted 
servant in Galveston County, serving on several boards in the area.
  As an area realtor, Simon has worked tirelessly to help many--
including my family--find a house to call home. Not only has he served 
others through his work and church, he has also worked tirelessly to 
promote the Republican Party and conservative ideals. Simon is a 
dedicated and passionate volunteer for the Republican Party, the 
Galveston County Republican Network and other conservative political 
causes. A passionate learner of conservative thought, Simon is 
dedicated to organizing conservative ideology in Texas.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Simon Urbanic on this 
milestone. I thank him for his many contributions to Galveston Island, 
Texas District 14, and the United States. I am proud to join his 
friends and family in celebrating his 70th year. Simon is a friend of 
mine and a friend of Galveston County and I wish him continued health 
and happiness.
