                        TRIBUTE TO K. GUNN McKAY

  (Mr. HANSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HANSEN. Madam Speaker, on October 6 last week our former 
colleague K. Gunn McKay passed away due to complications of cancer.
  Gunn served in this House from 1971 to 1981 and was chairman of the 
Subcommittee on Military Construction of the Committee on 
Appropriations.
  Gunn's family comes from Huntsville, Utah, and as a relatively young 
man his father passed away. Gunn worked diligently to help his brothers 
and sisters to gain an education and took over many of the 
responsibilities of the family.
  As a public servant, Gunn admirably served the people of the First 
Congressional District of Utah, he served in the Utah legislature, and 
as chief of staff to former Governor Cal Rampton. He also was a very 
devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and 
served in many positions of leadership.
  Gunn and his wife Donna are the parents of 10 children, and he has a 
remarkably fine family composed of both his brothers and sisters as 
well as his own children. I am sure that many of my former colleagues 
and his former colleagues join with me in expressing condolences to the 
McKay family at the time of Gunn's passing.
