                     HONORING SENATOR TOM CASPERSON

  (Mr. TIFFANY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Speaker, I want to follow up on the comments from 
the Congressman from the First District of Michigan.
  Today, I recognize a good friend and great American, Tom Casperson, 
who passed away this weekend. Tom lived in Representative Bergman's 
district in Escanaba, Michigan.
  I knew Tom as a State senator when he worked on numerous issues 
across State lines with me. The Good Neighbor Authority promoting 
better management of our national forests originated at a hearing Tom 
and I put together in Breitung Township, Michigan. Tom Casperson may 
have had a greater impact on Upper Peninsula issues in the Michigan 
Legislature than anyone who served the Upper Peninsula.
  While I knew Tom as a State senator, he will be remembered for far 
more than that, including as a man of great faith.
  Mr. Speaker, I send my deepest sympathies to Tom's wife, Diane, and 
their family.
  It has been a great privilege to have known such a fine man. May Tom 
Casperson rest in peace.
