                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 25, 2009

  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer my 
warmest congratulations to former Representative Doug Bereuter for 
receiving the 2009 Trailblazer Award from the NEBRASKAland Foundation.
  Each year, the NEBRASKAland Foundation celebrates Nebraska's entrance 
into the union. During this event, the Foundation honors distinguished 
Nebraskans for the impressive contributions to the State of Nebraska.
  I can think of no one who sums up the spirit of this award better 
than Representative Bereuter. His 26 years in Congress is a testament 
to his long-standing dedication to all Nebraskans. When I look at 
everything he accomplished during his tenure here in Congress, I am 
both humbled and inspired. He has truly set a tremendous example for 
others.
  Once again, I offer my congratulations to Representative Bereuter and 
I thank him for his public service, his leadership, and his friendship.
