           RECOGNIZING FORMER INDIANA GOVERNOR FRANK O'BANNON

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great respect that I rise to 
recognize former Indiana Governor Frank O'Bannon as we reflect on the 
20-year anniversary of his passing.
  The O'Bannon family and the Mrvan family have had great partnerships 
over the decades. My father was a State legislator for over 40 years 
and partnered on countless occasions to take positive and impactful 
action for the people of Indiana as Frank O'Bannon served in the 
General Assembly and as Governor.
  I remain grateful for the example they have provided in how to work 
together with members on both sides of the aisle and with all levels of 
government to find common ground and achieve success.
  In particular, I appreciate their priority to improve educational 
opportunities and affordable healthcare options for all members of our 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the service of Governor 
O'Bannon to Indiana, our Nation, and let us keep in mind his commitment 
to public service and solving problems as we move forward with 
addressing the issues of today.
