                        RECOGNIZING PHILLIP BURR

  (Mr. STEWART asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STEWART. Mr. Speaker, I want to take a moment to recognize one of 
my own constituents, Phillip Burr, from Burrville, Utah.
  Phillip has dedicated his career to providing electricity to rural 
Utah while working for one of my favorite companies, Garkane Energy. He 
has also spread that passion globally, making trips to such places as 
Bolivia and, most recently, Haiti.
  We all know that electricity is a critical element to improving 
quality of life and increasing access to basic necessities like 
healthcare, education, and clean water. After learning Haiti has less 
than 15 percent of its population with regular access to electricity, 
Phillip traveled there to help build a diesel solar hybrid distribution 
system that will provide safe, affordable, and reliable power to more 
than 1,600 consumers.
  This type of service is what makes America great. I am honored to 
recognize him for his example of humanitarian service and to thank him 
for all the work he has done in his community and around the world.
  Mr. Burr, I salute you.
