                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 18, 2001

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, let me take this means to pay tribute to 
David Curry of Sedalia, Missouri, who was recently named the Missouri 
Economic Development Council District 4 Volunteer of the Year.
  The Missouri Economic Development Council is an association of 
professionals and volunteers that is dedicated to improving the 
economic climate of Missouri through programs of professional 
development, public policy, marketing and communication. The Missouri 
Economic Development Council recognizes that professional developers 
have an enormous task. It is only by the work of volunteers that these 
professionals and their respective communities are successful.
  Mr. Curry has been involved with Pettis County, Missouri, economic 
development since the early 1970s. He was instrumental in forming the 
first industrial development group that brought many industries to 
Sedalia. Today, these businesses serve as the basis for the area's 
economic well-being. Currently, Mr. Curry serves as President of the 
Sedalia-Pettis County Community Service Corporation.
  Mr. Speaker, David Curry deserves to be recognized for his tireless 
commitment to the betterment of Sedalia. I know that the Members of the 
House will join me in congratulating him on a job well done.
