  Mr. OTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Al Henderson of 
Boise, Idaho as the recipient of The Salvation Army's William Booth 
Award for service to community. The William Booth Award is one of the 
highest awards that may be conveyed upon an individual by The Salvation 
Army.
  Al Henderson's many past civic associations include being co-founder 
of Idaho Working Partners and the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of 
Fame, The Salvation Army advisory board chairman, Chamber of Commerce 
board member, Rotary Club member, American Cancer Society, West Side 
Optimists Club and the Boise City Library Board. Mr. Henderson is also 
closely involved with the good works of the University Christian Church 
in Boise. Currently he serves part time as an employee for the Federal 
Emergency Management Administration.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate Al Henderson for his receipt of 
this distinguished award. I have had the honor of being personally 
acquainted with Al for many years, and I can think of no other person 
more worthy or deserving of such an award. I have been inspired by Al's 
principled character and his steadfast commitment to the State of 
Idaho. His achievements, continued unselfish work, and sense of 
community serve as a lustrous model of exemplary citizenship.
