                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                         TRIBUTE TO TERRY SCHOW

 Mr. LEE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Terry Schow 
for his exemplary work in behalf of Veterans in the State of Utah.
  Mr. Schow has provided a strong voice and steady hand in fighting for 
the critical services our veterans need and deserve. Three Utah 
Governors recognized and tapped into his tremendous talent and 
unchallenged commitment to our veterans. He was appointed as Director 
of the Utah Division of Veterans Affairs in October 2001 by Governor 
Michael O. Leavitt. Governor Jon M. Huntsman Jr. then appointed Mr. 
Schow as Executive Director of the Utah Department of Veterans Affairs 
and Governor W. Herbert named him to the same post.
  Terry Schow is a U.S. Army Veteran who served in the 5th and 10th 
Special Forces Groups and the 25th Infantry Division. He also served a 
tour of duty in Southeast Asia.
  Mr. Schow has demonstrated through his long years of service what it 
means to honor the promises we make as a country to those who stand in 
harm's way defending our freedom. He paid special attention to our 
veterans who suffer from mental and emotional challenges and the 
troubling trend of suicide among veterans. Terry Schow worked 
tirelessly to ensure we never lose a member of the military whether on 
the battlefield or long after they have left active duty.
  Terry Schow's efforts have improved the quality of life for countless 
Utah veterans through increased access to critical care and specialized 
services. I thank Mr. Terry Schow for his extraordinary impact on our 
veterans.
