                  CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF FRANK CAGLE

  (Mr. BURCHETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, a few weeks ago, Frank Cagle, my close 
friend and a good Libertarian conservative, passed away after a battle 
with cancer.
  Frank was a brave American who served with the 82nd Airborne during 
the Vietnam war. Following his service, he attended college and worked 
for newspapers across the South.
  In 1982, Frank came to east Tennessee to work at the Knoxville News 
Sentinel as a copy editor. His passion was reporting on State and local 
politics. Frank put his commentary into action, serving as deputy to 
Knoxville Mayor, Victor Ashe, and working as campaign manager on 
Congressman Van Hilleary's 2002 bid for Governor.
  He later returned to journalism, writing columns and analyzing policy 
for Knox TN Today, WATE, and back at the Knoxville News Sentinel. Frank

focused his career on delivering unbiased political reporting, and his 
contributions will leave a long-lasting impression on all of us in east 
Tennessee.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to celebrate Frank's life and recognize his 
dedication to our community on the House floor.
  Rest in peace, my good friend.
