          MOURNING THE PASSING OF FORMER MEMBER FRANK MASCARA

  (Mr. HOLDEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLDEN. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep regret that I rise today to 
inform the House of the passing of our former colleague and my dear 
good friend, Frank Mascara. Frank passed away earlier this week and 
will be laid to rest tomorrow in his beloved Washington County in 
western Pennsylvania.
  Frank dedicated his life to public service, serving as county 
controller in Washington County, followed by 15 years as a county 
commissioner in Washington County. He then served with distinction in 
this body from 1995 to 2003, where he dedicated his career to working 
on transportation issues important not only to his district but to the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and all across the country.
  Frank will truly be missed. We extend our thoughts and prayers to his 
wife, Dolores, and their children.
