                   HONORING THE LIFE OF VERA DULANEY

  (Mr. SMITH of Nebraska asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Vera Dulaney who passed away July 5.
  Last November, I was able to recognize Vera on the floor for her 
retirement and how much she meant to our community. For more than 30 
years, she served the community through her position as Scotts Bluff 
County clerk and election commissioner, as well as in various other 
volunteer capacities.
  Throughout her public service, Vera's diligent work maintained the 
integrity of our local elections and assisted the effective and 
efficient operation of Scotts Bluff County. Her outstanding efforts 
across the community were recently acknowledged when she was presented 
the Community Volunteer Award for Public Service.
  Vera was well-known in our community for her years of official 
service, humble demeanor, and dedication to family. Her smile always 
lit up the room. Her devotion to the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Chicago 
Cubs was only surpassed by her devotion to her family and our community 
as a whole.
  Throughout her long and prosperous life, she touched countless 
others. Now in passing, we celebrate her life and keep her family and 
friends in our prayers.
