                        IN MEMORY OF PAUL STUART

  (Mr. GIBBONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday the University of Nevada's 
athletic department and the Wolfpack supporters suffered an enormous 
loss when their sports information director, Paul Stuart, passed away.
  Stuart was an avid sports enthusiast and became the Wolfpack's 
biggest fan when he took the job in 1981. His career at the University 
of Nevada, Reno, was decorated with numerous awards and citations for 
simply being one of the best. Whether it was designing the next media 
guide or providing radio and television commentary, Paul Stuart 
succeeded in providing a shining light on the Pack's athletic 
achievements.
  Stuart, a 1975 graduate from the University of New Mexico, went on to 
become the information service director at New Mexico Highlands 
University. Soon after, he left for Nevada and became one of the 
hardest working individuals in the Wolfpack athletic department, 
sometimes working well late into the night.
  And though Paul Stuart was perhaps the largest promoter and fan of 
the Nevada athletic teams and individuals, he was an even larger fan of 
his family. Mr. Speaker, as both a Nevadan and a Wolfpack alumnus, my 
thoughts and prayers go out to Paul's wife Annie and his four children, 
Calvin, Lindsay, Kara, and Kelsey. He will be sorely missed.
