               RECOGNIZING THE RETIREMENT OF SID MORRISON

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Honorable 
Sid Morrison on a lifetime of selfless public service. Sid recently 
retired as the chair of Energy Northwest Executive Board, having 
dedicated 20 years to supporting northwest public power. And that was 
only the latest chapter in a storied career spanning seven decades.
  Embodying the spirit and commitment of the Greatest Generation, Sid 
served in the U.S. Army, spent 14 years in the Washington legislature, 
and was elected to six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives 
representing Central Washington, before being appointed as Washington's 
Secretary of Transportation.
  A lifelong Washingtonian, Sid has long been a role model in the 
Evergreen State, and the recently-dedicated Morrison Energy Center in 
Richland will serve as tribute to his innovative spirit and enduring 
legacy.
  A man of humility, compassion, and conviction, it is my honor to call 
Sid a mentor and a friend. I ask the House to join me in congratulating 
our former colleague on a most-distinguished career and deserved 
retirement.
