                         HONORING CAMERON STAY

  (Mr. PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a friend of mine, 
Cameron Stay, a friend from Henderson, Nevada. Cameron has been an 
inspiration for me. We had a chance to meet recently. He experienced a 
tragic motorcycle accident just a few months ago.
  Cameron is a friend of Nevada and a friend of the country. He is a 
Green Valley High School graduate from Henderson, Nevada, in my 
district and has a college degree in criminal justice. He also was a 
firefighter with the BLM and with the Hotshots 777 group and worked for 
TAB Construction.
  I mention Cameron today because he is an inspiration for me as a 
Member of Congress. As we look at issues ranging from world peace to 
education to health care to children and families, Cameron has been 
that inspiration for his courage, his enthusiasm, and his will to live 
a full life. He truly represents what this country is about; and today 
I would like to recognize Cameron and his mother, who is here today, 
Denice Olson and her husband, Stan, who are in the audience, and say 
thank you for sharing with us your son as an inspiration for us as 
Members of Congress.
