  Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, it is with a great deal of pride that I 
rise to pay a very special tribute to an outstanding citizen in Ohio's 
Fifth Congressional District. Roger Anderson is an individual who is 
dedicated to serving the public and has given much of his time and 
expertise in helping community groups achieve success.
  Madam Speaker, there is no question that our citizens are the 
foundation of our country. From the earliest day of our nation's 
history, the men and women of the United States have worked to create 
opportunities that would provide a better life for future generations.
  Roger Anderson has contributed to our community as a volunteer for 
various clubs and committees, as an educator, an advocate for non-
profit organizations, and a public servant. Mr. Anderson served as a 
Bowling Green City Councilman from 1976-1980 and was a member of 
Bowling Green's Planning and Zoning, Public Lands, and Building 
Committees.
  Roger Anderson has also held a leadership role in twelve different 
organizations including the Bowling Green Kiwanas Club, the Ohio 
Council of Higher Education Retirees, the WSOS Community Action 
Commission, and most recently, the League of Women Voters, where he was 
elected the first ever male president.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying special 
tribute to Roger Anderson. Mr. Anderson's selfless commitment and 
dedication to the betterment of his community have set an example for 
future generations to follow. On behalf of the people of the Fifth 
District of Ohio, I am proud to recognize the service of Roger 
Anderson.
