                         RECOGNIZING OWEN BAIN

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Owen Bain 
for receiving the Supporter of the Year Award from the South Dakota 
Habitat for Humanity. This is a prestigious award that reflects his 
hard work and dedication to eliminating poverty around the world. It is 
also a reflection of the valuable role he has played in giving back to 
his local community.
  Owen Bain works with the Habitat for Humanity of Beadle County. He is 
a hobby carpenter and has volunteered more than 180 hours of labor in 
Habitat's recent projects. Owen played an integral role in the building 
process, all the while maintaining his humble disposition. Owen is a 
model volunteer who has contributed greatly to the success of Habitat 
for Humanity.
  It gives me great pleasure to recognize Owen Bain and to congratulate 
him on receiving this well-earned award and wish him continued success 
in the years to come.
