  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Richard J. Wilding. Richard will be retiring July 31 after 19 years on 
the Mid-Continent Public Library Board of Directors.

Missouri. Richard has also taken an active part in the construction and 
renovation of libraries throughout Clay, Jackson and Platte Counties 
throughout his many years serving as Business Manager, Assistant
