  Mr. MELANCON. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this time to 
commend Mr. Robert P. Page, an outstanding citizen and business leader 
from Houma, Louisiana. I wanted to recognize him today as he is in the 
final months of his term as the President of the National Association

professional insurance agent and he has exhibited only the highest 
standards of honesty, integrity and professionalism, serving as the

to the clients of his insurance agency in Houma, going above and beyond 
the call of duty to assist his fellow citizens who suffered devastating 
losses after each storm.

natural catastrophes throughout the United States, serving as the 
founding member of the Professional Insurance Agents Natural 
Catastrophe Task Force.
  With his years of hard work and dedication Mr. Page has earned the 
respect and admiration of his many colleagues throughout the insurance 
industry. He has embodied the motto of his insurance association, 
``Local Agents Serving Main Street America''
  Therefore, I'd like to congratulate and commend Robert P. Page of
