                        RECOGNIZING MARK SCIRTO

  (Mr. MORAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mark Scirto, a trusted 
and beloved figure in the east Texas community.
  As a meteorologist for KLTV since 1987, Mark has worked hard to 
provide accurate and timely weather forecasts for our region.
  Mark is a steady voice in times of trouble, a calming guide in the 
midst of storms, and a bright smile and hearty laugh when the days get 
tough.
  Whether it was a tornado, thunderstorms, or beautiful days between, 
Texans knew that they could count on Mark. We know his words by heart: 
Get to a small, windowless, interior room. We did just that when he 
told us to do so.
  Mark Scirto's journey with KLTV began in 1987. He was nominated for a 
Dallas Press Club Katie Award, an honor no other meteorologist in east 
Texas has ever received. Mark has also held the seals of approval from 
the National Weather Association and the American Meteorological 
Society since 1989.
  He gave everything of himself for the rest of us, and we are 
grateful. Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Mark Scirto for his 
remarkable career and his dedication to our community. His legacy will 
live on, and his presence in our homes will be missed. We wish him all 
the best.
