                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 11, 2018

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Douglas ``Pat'' 
Gorman on his recognition as the 2018 City of Katy Senior Citizen of 
the Year.
  Gorman volunteers weekly at the Katy Prairie Conservancy and at St. 
Paul's Episcopal Church. He also helps elderly and handicapped 
residents through the Katy Area AARP and Katy Home Savers Association. 
When he and his wife Francesca, ``Fran,'' aren't spending time with 
family or traveling around the world, Pat can be found working 
outdoors: either building flower beds, fixing stairs or ensuring tools 
are in tip top shape. Thanks to his immeasurable contributions to the 
Katy community over the past decade, Gorman was the City of Katy Social 
Services Advisory Board's sole nominee for this award. In 2015, he was 
also named the Katy Area Chamber of Commerce Volunteer of the Year.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Pat Gorman on this wonderful recognition. I 
thank him for his dedication to our Katy community.
