                          TRIBUTE TO DON MYERS

  (Mr. SPACE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a great man 
that worked tirelessly to improve the way of life of many Ohioans.
  Don Myers was an extraordinary Executive Director of the Ohio Mid-
Eastern Governments Association Development District, a position that 
is at the heart of economic development for one of the most underserved 
regions of Ohio. During his tenure, the organization helped secure over 
$600 million in development and infrastructure improvement for the 
region. He was the embodiment of the meaning of ``community.''
  I knew Don Myers well. He was a kind gentleman who carried himself 
with a great degree of grace, and he will be missed very much by the 
people in Ohio, his family, his friends and his neighbors.
