                      HONORING NORM ``JACK'' SNOW

  (Mr. KUHL of New York asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUHL of New York. Mr. Speaker, for the past 30 year, Norm 
``Jack'' Snow has been a familiar face in the town of Milo, Yates 
County, New York, serving as councilman for 12 years before moving into 
the supervisor position for the last 18 years. Jack has offered his 
strength, his courage, his convictions to the town of Milo. He 
announced his retirement at the beginning of this year, much to the 
dismay of the people he represents.
  A native of upstate New York, Jack grew up on a dairy farm walking 
one mile to a one-room schoolhouse, in which he jokes was ``uphill both 
ways.'' Jack didn't grow up dreaming of politics but decided he could 
make a difference in the community that he loved. Besides his 30 years 
of public service, Jack is an active member in the community serving as 
the President of the Shrine Club, which enables 700 school children 
from around the State to attend the Shrine Circus each year.
  Jack cites that the reason he stayed in politics for 30 years was 
because of the terrific people he worked with every day. But it was us 
who were blessed to work with Jack, and more importantly, blessed to 
know him. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
