                         HONORING RANDE YEAGER

  Mr. COLEMAN. Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity to 
commend Rande Yeager, a constituent of mine, on completing a year as 
president of the American Land Title Association, ALTA. He ably 
represented the land title industry at a time when the value and public 
policy purposes of title insurance and the maintenance of land records 
came under challenge.
  His leadership of ALTA over this past year was a natural extension of 
his corporate experience. As president of Old Republic National Title 
Insurance Company, one of the leading title underwriters in this 
country and my State of Minnesota, Rande has experience being both a 
leader and a spokesperson for a large company.
  As ALTA president, Rande made numerous trips to State conventions 
across the country to get to know his colleagues better, hear their 
concerns for their businesses and the industry, and came back ready to 
find out how ALTA could help. He also came to Washington to promote the 
importance of title insurance and land record maintenance.
  ALTA has been well served by Rande's leadership. I congratulate him 
on his year as president and best wishes on his future endeavors.
