                       REMEMBERING PORTER McNEIL

  (Mr. SORENSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SORENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a friend and a 
public servant in the Quad Cities, Porter McNeil.
  Porter served as a leader in Rock Island County for decades, most 
recently on our county board, but also as a leader and lover of 
democratic values.
  Porter was an incredible communicator, family man, and friend to all 
of us. He was in a class all his own. He was a steadfast Democrat, but 
just this week, a GOP member back home called him ``a good man, with 
class.''
  Porter loved the Quad Cities and believed in making our home a better 
place.
  In his passing, I am thinking of his wife, Mary, the McNeil family, 
and his friends. To have so many people remember you so fondly is a 
testimony of being a great man.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Porter McNeil for being there for us. We will 
miss him.
