  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Fred C. Albrecht, 
who has honorably served the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for 38 
years.
  In his 38 years of service AT UNLV Fred Albrecht spent 18 years in 
the athletics department as the assistant men's basketball coach, men's 
tennis coach, Executive Director of Athletic Fundraising, and served as 
the interim Athletic Director twice. He has also served as the Vice 
President for University and Community Relations for the past 10 years 
in conjunction with serving as the Executive Director of Alumni 
Relations for 35 years.
  Since being hired in 1973 as the University's first Alumni Director, 
Fred has made numerous significant contributions to the UNLV community. 
As the alumni and government relations lobbyist he raised $3 million in 
1989 to build the 23,000 square foot Richard Tam Alumni Center. He has 
also raised money to build the Alumni Park at the Sam Boyd Football 
Stadium, and the Alumni Amphitheater on campus.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Fred Albrecht for his many 
outstanding achievements and congratulate him and his wife, Connie. His 
38 year dedication to UNLV has been commendable, and he has greatly 
enriched the lives of countless people in the UNLV community.
