                      HONORING PASTOR RHIO CLEIGH

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, today I take a few minutes to honor a 
great man of faith. Pastor Rhio Cleigh dedicated the past 25 years to 
serving his community through the church. The last 15 of those years 
have been at my home church--Prairie Lakes Church in Cedar Falls, IA.
  The work of a pastor is not always easy but, much like my work, it is 
very rewarding. As a minister in our church, Rhio was responsible for 
counseling individuals through difficult times, visiting the sick in 
the hospital, and ministering to the senior citizens of our 
congregation.
  This Sunday our membership will honor Pastor Cleigh as he retires 
from the ministry. Rhio plans to spend his retirement enjoying time 
with his wife Patti, his 6 children, 10 grandchildren, and 1 great-
grandchild. He also hopes to have a little more time for some of his 
hobbies--things like woodworking, camping, fishing, and gardening.
  Barbara joins me in sincere appreciation to Rhio for his 
contributions to our church and community. Together we wish him a long 
and happy retirement.
