                        HONORING MICHAEL TENNANT

  (Mr. BIGGS of Arizona asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BIGGS of Arizona. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of my good 
friend, Michael Tennant.
  For the last 14 years, Mike has served as chairman of the Sun Lakes 
Republican Club, an active East Valley community in my district. He is 
a true patriot.
  Mike was born on November 25, 1949, in Orion, Illinois. He had a long 
career with International Harvester in Illinois and Wisconsin, but 
ultimately settled with his lovely wife, Sandy, in the great State of 
Arizona.
  Mike's life wasn't without its challenges. While living in Wisconsin, 
he courageously battled leukemia and survived, thanks to a lifesaving 
bone marrow transplant from his brother.
  Since retiring to Sun Lakes, Mike has dedicated his time to serving 
his community. He is well known as a grassroots activist for the 
conservative cause. I am also happy to see a smiling face at grassroots 
meetings, rallies with the President, get-out-the-vote efforts, and 
more.
  I am truly grateful to Mike for following his call to service and to 
Sandy for supporting him. As Mike steps down as chairman after 14 years 
of dedicated leadership, I am honored to celebrate him here today and 
to call him a friend.
