        CELEBRATING CORPUS CHRISTI ARMY DEPOT'S 60TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. CLOUD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLOUD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Corpus Christi 
Army Depot, which celebrates its 60th anniversary today.
  CCAD is the premier rotary-winged helicopter repair and maintenance 
facility for the U.S. Army.
  Like a battle-hardened soldier, CCAD remains strong, committed, and 
dedicated to answering the Nation's call and keeping the Army flag 
flying.
  The freedom and security that Americans enjoy today are a direct 
result of the hard work and continuing commitment of CCAD to the 
mission given by the U.S. Army.
  Thousands of military, civilian, and contractor employees have walked 
the halls, worked in the hangars, turned the wrenches, flown the 
aircraft, and dedicated themselves to the operation that began in 1961.
  The community leaders and citizens of Corpus Christi, Texas, 
recognize and appreciate the service of all personnel of CCAD, past and 
present.
  We salute this great organization's unending mission. I wish the 
Corpus Christi Army Depot a happy 60th birthday today.
