                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 27, 2023

  Mr. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to acknowledge a fellow 
Midwesterner and former colleague from the state of Michigan, Bob Carr, 
on his 80th birthday. Bob has spent a lifetime in public service and 
education and continues to have a lasting impact on our institution.
  Bob served this body for 18 years, representing Michigan's 6th and 
8th Congressional Districts. During his time in Congress, he proudly 
served on the Armed Services Committee and then on Appropriations, 
where he worked to end the United States' military involvement in 
Southeast Asian conflicts.
  After leaving Congress, Bob continued on the path of public service 
both at the Association of Former Members of Congress and with the 
Brookings LEGIS Fellows program. Every step along the way, he has 
improved the political discourse and helped hundreds of civil servants 
get an inside perspective of this institution we love, thereby 
fostering more constructive engagement between the executive and 
legislative branches of government. His career has helped set an 
example for all of us on how to work together to improve our government 
and our country.
  Both my constituents and I personally have benefitted from the high 
caliber of professionalism and expertise of LEGIS Fellows who have 
served, and continue to serve, each year on my staff.
  Happy Birthday to Bob, and I thank him for his continued public 
service and enduring contributions to this Nation.
