                 ARLINGTON HEIGHTS MAYOR ARLENE MULDER

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOLD. Today, I rise to recognize a woman who embodies dedication 
to public service and the best of what we hope for in our public 
officials.
  Recently, Mayor Arlene Mulder of Arlington Heights announced her 
retirement, ending a long and successful tenure. Mayor Mulder served 
her community as village president for 20 years--the longest-serving 
village president in Arlington Heights history. She is respected by her 
colleagues and constituents alike for her commitment to work together 
and to better her community. She has been an advocate for local 
businesses and has helped transform downtown Arlington Heights into the 
beautiful and vibrant area that it is today.
  I want to express my appreciation for Mayor Mulder's 34 years in 
public service as village president, as trustee, and as park district 
commissioner. Her commitment to making Arlington Heights a better 
community is exactly what we look for in our public officials. I know 
she will continue to contribute in great ways to our communities, and I 
look forward to working with her in the future.
