     HONORING ROLLIE BOREHAM FOR HIS GRACIOUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR 
                              COMMUNITIES

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Rollie Boreham for 
his gracious contributions to the Third District of Arkansas. Rollie 
will be stepping down at the end of the year from his current role as 
chairman of the board of Baldor, a Fort Smith-based manufacturer. 
Rollie helped build Baldor into a leader in their field. In doing so, 
he also generously devoted his time and resources to countless projects 
in the community.
  Before the year is over, the people of Arkansas will see yet another 
example of Rollie's generosity when the M&N Foundation dedicates their 
new office. The M&N Foundation is a Fayetteville charity that helps 
individuals in need. Merlin Augustine, the head of the Foundation, has 
needed to be very creative to accomplish what he has in their current 
facilities. Without Rollie's donation for a new building, they would 
still be working out of that old basement room.
  Mr. Speaker, Merlin Augustine and the M&N Foundation can now do their 
wonderful work from brand-new facilities thanks to Rollie. Rollie's 
philanthropy has changed the lives of many Arkansans, and for that he 
deserves our praise.
