                 RECOGNIZING VERA DULANEY'S RETIREMENT

  (Mr. SMITH of Nebraska asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. 
Vera Dulaney, who, after 36 years of official service to her community, 
will retire from her position as Scotts Bluff County clerk and election 
commissioner.
  Vera is a faithful public servant who works to protect the integrity 
of our elections and sets an example for many others in her family and 
community to follow. In fact, her daughter, Kathy, is the city clerk of 
our city of Gering.
  For over 30 years, Vera has served as a member of the board of 
directors for Oregon Trail Days, which is held each year to showcase 
the history and culture of western Nebraska. In cooperation with the 
Boy Scouts of America, Vera continues to provide leadership for the Ed 
Dulaney Canoe Derby, which is named after her late husband, who started 
it over 45 years ago.
  When she was recently presented the Community Volunteer Award for 
public service, Vera said she could think of many others who she 
thought were actually more deserving of the award.
  Please join me in honoring an incredibly humble, hardworking, and 
selfless advocate of western Nebraska, Mrs. Vera Dulaney.
