            HONORING THE CAREER OF SENATOR LOU D'ALLESANDRO

  (Mr. PAPPAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the career of a true New 
Hampshire original, the dean of our State Senate, Lou D'Allesandro.
  Senator D'Allesandro, or Lou, as he is universally known, will be 
retiring from the New Hampshire State Senate after serving the people 
of District 20 for 26 years.
  New Hampshire's working families and middle class have no greater 
champion than Lou D'Allesandro. The work he has done on their behalf to 
improve public education, to create jobs, and strengthen our economy 
will be felt for decades to come.
  His legacy is as much the bills he has passed and the laws that bear 
his name as it is the generations of young men and women he has taught, 
coached, and mentored, leaving a lasting impression on them all.
  In addition to being a lifelong public servant, Lou is an educator, a 
coach, and someone so dedicated to his family, including his amazing 
wife, Pat.
  Lou's life work has made a tremendous difference on New Hampshire and 
all of its families and communities.
  Mr. Speaker, I join all Granite Staters in thanking him for his years 
of service, and as he often says: I hope Lou D'Allesandro has a great, 
great American day.
