  Mr. McALLISTER. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that 
I rise today to commemorate Mr. Houston Waggoner on the occasion of his 
93rd birthday, which he and his loved ones celebrated on March 17.
   Mr. Waggoner is a proud WWII Navy Veteran and the father of eight 
children. He worked for 30 years as a bag plant manager before retiring 
and starting a small business, Chatham Automotive Parts and Supply in 
1972. After owning his own business for 18 years, he retired for a 
second time in 1990. He now resides in Jackson Parish and enjoys 
hunting, fishing, and his involvement with the National WWII Museum in 
New Orleans where he is a member.
   Mr. Waggoner exemplifies a strong character of leadership and 
dedication. As his family and friends continue to celebrate and honor 
him, I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing Mr. Waggoner a very 
happy 93rd birthday.
