  Mr. JACKSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor celebrate 
the life and legacy of one of America's greatest civil servants, Mr. 
Stanley D. Moore, Sr. This September, Stanley will turn 90 years old 
and gather to celebrate the occasion with his family and friends in my 
hometown of Chicago.
  Stanley's career with the Federal Government began in 1956 and within 
4 years, he started what would be a lifelong career with the U.S. 
Census Bureau. While working as a systems analyst for the Bureau, 
Stanley continually displayed a dedication and work ethic that few 
people can match.
  His work led him to be continually promoted until he was appointed as 
the regional director of the Bureau's Chicago Regional Office. In this 
position, he was responsible for overseeing all Census operations in 
the States of Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, 
Missouri, and Wisconsin.
  Stanley developed the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding 
and Referencing system (TIGER) and the Reaching Every Single Person on 
the Nation's Decennial (Operation RESPOND) program. His work on these 
matters revolutionized Census operations and continue to serve as part 
of the bedrock of Census operations to this day.
  His work led him to receive accolades, including the Bronze Medal for 
Superior Service, the Silver Medal Award for Meritorious Service, and 
the Gold Medal Award for Exceptional Service. He is also a recipient of 
the prestigious Hammer Award for National Partnership for Reinventing 
Government.
  In addition to his meritorious government service, Stanley was a 
powerful advocate for equality and justice throughout Chicago. In the 
1970s, Stanley was instrumental in the desegregation of Chicago 
housing. His 4-year long legal battle against racial discrimination 
culminated in his success in court and the purchase of a new home in 
the Beverly community. Through his search for justice and equality, 
Stanley led the way for countless others to continue to work against 
the evils of segregation.
  I would like to express my gratitude to Stanley for his service and 
ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating his 90th birthday.
