                         Thursday, May 8, 2008

  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to rise today 
to honor my friend Harvey Allen 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 pay tribute 
to Harvey Allen for his service as an educator in the Nevada higher 
education system for over thirty years.
  Harvey served as a full time professor of Broadcasting, English, 
Journalism, Speech, Acting, and Theater at the Community College of 
Southern Nevada for 30 years before retiring at age 75. His dedication 
to higher education stretched beyond the classroom as he directed the 
first student produced play at CCSN, served as faculty advisor for the 
college newspaper, served as a Faculty Senate Member, and established 
an internship program for Broadcasting and Journalism students. During 
this time, Harvey also served as a visiting professor at the University 
of Nevada Las Vegas. Harvey's own education includes earning four 
degrees from Modesto Jr. College, San Diego State University, and the 
University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
  In addition to his work in higher education, Harvey has been 
influential within the broadcasting community. In 2007, Harvey was 
inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame citing his many 
professional accomplishments which included hosting numerous radio talk 
shows and writing for several Las Vegas publications.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor the life of Harvey Allen. His 
dedication to enriching lives through education and broadcasting has 
touched countless Nevadans. I applaud his efforts and wish him the best 
in his future endeavors.
