  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to send the Congress's birthday 
wishes to Robert Hedger on the occasion of his 70th birthday 
celebration. Father to Matthew, Sarah, Adam, Douglas and Stephen--a 
valuable member of my personal staff--and grandfather to Allison, 
Jonathon, Samuel, Kristina and Sarah, Robert has brought a wonderful 
family into this world. I offer my best wishes for continued good 
health and good fortune for he and his family and for many more 
gatherings such as that which he will hold this Memorial Day weekend 
when he will be surrounded by his loved ones at his home in Corea, 
Maine.
