   COMMEMORATING THE OCCASION OF MR. HOUSTON WAGGONER'S 93RD BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. McALLISTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  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, fishing, on 
March the 17th.
  Mr. Waggoner is a proud World War II Navy veteran who has lived the 
American Dream. As a father of eight children, he worked for 30 years 
before retiring as a bag plant manager and starting his own 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 involvement with The National World War II 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.
