                        HONORING RICHARD FISHER

  (Mr. BURGESS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the work of Richard 
Fisher, who will be retiring as the president of the Federal Reserve 
Bank of Dallas this coming spring.
  President Fisher's work at the institution for the past 10 years has 
served our area well. Richard has been a fearless advocate for the low 
regulation of the Texas economy. Because of his stance, north Texas has 
experienced tremendous economic growth and vitality during the time of 
his presidency.
  I feel privileged to have known and worked closely with President 
Fisher during the time he and I worked together on economic development 
summits in southeast Fort Worth. Those were a huge success and were 
helpful to the small businesses that were in an economically challenged 
area. He was always available and helpful to me personally. His stances 
on preventing banks that are too big to fail from coming to the 
taxpayer for bailouts was inspiring.
  On behalf of the 26th District of Texas, I commend President Richard 
Fisher on a job well done. I congratulate him on his retirement and 
wish him every success in the future.
