                HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF FRED TEICHERT

  (Mr. BERA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BERA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Fred Teichert and 
celebrate his retirement from A Teichert & Sons, a construction company 
that his great-grandfather founded in 1887.
  In 1990, Fred led the creation of the Teichert Foundation. Through 
the foundation, he has greatly contributed to what Sacramento is today 
in his support of nonprofits in Sacramento and throughout California.
  Fred has been committed to making Sacramento a better place, 
particularly for our youth. Among his proudest achievements was serving 
as the founding president of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater 
Sacramento. His

participation on the Child Abuse Prevention Council and countless 
education committees have served as constant reminders of his 
dedication to helping children succeed both in and out of the 
classroom.
  For his efforts, he has earned numerous community service awards over 
the last 30 years, including being selected as American Leadership 
Forum's exemplary leader of the year and the Sacramento Metro Chamber 
of Commerce's Sacramentan of the Year.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my congratulations and thanks to Fred Teichert 
for his lifelong dedication to Sacramento. His commitment to our region 
will always be celebrated and remembered. I ask my colleagues to join 
me in celebrating Fred for his work and wish him the best in his next 
steps.
