                    HONORING CONGRESSMAN DAVE HOBSON

  (Mr. CAREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CAREY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of my dear friend, 
Congressman Dave Hobson, who is a former member of the Ohio Air 
National Guard, the Ohio State Senate, as well as a Member of this body 
for 17 years representing Ohio's Seventh District.
  Earlier this week, Dave--or ``Uncle Dave'', as his former 
constituents fondly call him--was inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall 
of Fame for his service in the Ohio Air National Guard. As a veteran in 
Congress, Dave was able to secure more than $200 million in Federal 
funding for military projects in Ohio and beyond.
  I would also like to personally thank Dave for the positive impact he 
had on me throughout the years, as you can see, from a very young age, 
and he continues to have on me today as he does much of Ohio. I am also 
now honored to represent Dave's home county of Clark County in western 
Ohio.
  We have quite literally come full circle, and I am glad to see his 
legacy recognized as he joins the impressive ranks of his brothers and 
sisters in arms in the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame.
  Dave, congratulations on this momentous occasion, and thank you for 
your continued mentorship and friendship for the last 35 years.
