               IN MEMORY OF FORMER CONGRESSMAN GUS YATRON

  (Mr. HOLDEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLDEN. Mr. Speaker, I have the sad task of informing my 
colleagues that my predecessor, Gus Yatron, passed away unexpectedly 
early this morning.
  Gus Yatron dedicated his entire life to public service, first serving 
as a school director for the Reading School District, and then serving 
in the Pennsylvania State House and in the Pennsylvania State Senate. 
He served with distinction in the halls of Congress for 24 years.
  During Gus Yatron's years of public service, he helped thousands of 
people and was respected by all the colleagues that he served with. Our 
thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Millie; his daughter, Theana; 
his son, George; and to his grandchildren.
