  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of James 
Kelly, who died Saturday, May 12, 2006.
  James served the city of North Las Vegas for decades in a number of 
different capacities. He was a Justice of the Peace for 24 years, a 
former city council member, past President of the North Las Vegas 
Chamber of Commerce, and a past President of the Nevada Judges 
Association. James lived in North Las Vegas since 1959 and was very 
community-minded. He quietly led a life of public service.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor the life of James Kelly. His long 
and distinguished record of public service is admirable and should 
serve as an example to us all. He will be greatly missed by the city of 
North Las Vegas.
