              HONORING BRETT MILAM FOR DONATING HIS KIDNEY

  (Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Clermont County 
resident Brett Milam for selflessly donating his kidney to a stranger 
in need.
  He recently shared his decision with our community in The Clermont 
Sun in Ohio where he works, describing his recent kidney donation and 
journey.
  Brett was inspired by an article written by a man who had made the 
same choice to donate a kidney for no other reason than to commit an 
act of kindness.
  As Brett tells it, after months of research, contemplation, and 
discussion with other organ donors, he decided to help a stranger, 
giving them an early Christmas present: a healthy kidney.

  I applaud Brett for making this donation to save a complete 
stranger's life, and I am particularly moved by the selflessness and 
kindness that Brett made with this action.
  Brett's choice to donate his kidney demonstrates the most 
compassionate side of humanity.
  Today, I recognize Brett Milam for his extremely selfless act of 
kindness.
  Thank you, Brett, and God bless.
