  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to rise today 
to honor Dan McPartland by entering his name in the Congressional 
Record, the official record of the proceedings and debates of the 
United States Congress since 1873. Today I honor Dan McPartland, who is 
retiring after 27 years of service to the Clark County School District 
Department of Food Services.
  Mr. McPartland has been a resident of southern Nevada since 1968. 
Throughout his service, Dan has provided leadership and stability to a 
vital department of southern Nevada's education system. During his time 
as director of food services, Dan led numerous projects to effectively 
feed and nourish Clark County students. Such projects included 
technology upgrades in every school cafeteria networked to the main 
food service office as well as the implementation of a strict nutrition 
policy that regulated all foods sold in schools during business hours. 
Mr. McPartland expanded the department to keep up with rapid growth and 
maintained a financially sound budget while doing so. Dan was 
recognized with the Golden Carrot in 2004 for his exceptional 
innovation and leadership in promoting child health and nutrition 
through school food service.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Dan McPartland. His dedication and 
commitment to the students of Clark County is commendable and his 
efforts have enriched countless lives. I congratulate Mr. McPartland on 
his much deserved retirement and wish him all the best in his future 
endeavors.
