                          HONORING IKE SKELTON

  (Mr. CLEAVER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CLEAVER. Mr. Speaker, on this past Friday evening, our colleague, 
Ike Skelton, joined an elite group of Americans as he was presented 
with the Harry S Truman Public Service Award. He joins Colin Powell, 
Madeline Albright, Henry Kissinger and Tom Eagleton, just to name a 
few; and so I stand before you, Mr. Speaker and colleagues of Ike 
Skelton, to say that we can stand proud of what he has done over his 
career and fact that he has now been recognized by the body that 
salutes Harry Truman.
