  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Richard 
Fauble of Tecumseh, Michigan for his distinguished service to the 
community, most recently as the Superintendent of Tecumseh Public 
Schools.
  As the Superintendent of the second largest district in Lenawee 
County, Richard Fauble oversaw the building of a new high school and 
extensive renovations to the middle school and four elementary schools. 
Both projects were successfully completed under budget.
  Mr. Fauble distinguished himself both personally and professionally 
through his commitment to education. He earned his B.A. Degree from 
Central Michigan University and his Masters Degree in educational 
administration from the University of Michigan. He has also completed 
extensive coursework throughout the country.
  Richard Fauble has made the most of his extensive education and 
training, serving in a variety of teaching and administrative 
positions. In the last 30 years, he has taught high school social 
studies, served as principals and superintendents in Wyoming, 
Wisconsin, Florida and Michigan. In each post, he offered his 
experience and expertise to improving the learning environment for 
students.
  Education is the key for our Nation's future prosperity and security. 
The formidable responsibility of molding and inspiring young minds to 
the avenues of hope, opportunity and achievement rests in good part 
with our schools. Richard Fauble's impact on the future leaders of our 
community and our country is certainly deserving of recognition.
  On behalf of the Congress of the United States of America, I am proud 
to honor Mr. Richard Fauble for his commitment and dedication to 
improving education. We thank him for his contributions to helping our 
young people become good citizens, and fit for the technology-based 
world of tomorrow.
