                          HONORING TERRY ALLEN

  (Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor the life 
of an important and respected member of the Chicago community. Last 
week, we lost an advocate for the middle class, Terry Allen, when he 
lost his battle with cancer.
  Serving for decades as a dedicated leader, he represented thousands 
of Chicagoland workers with great distinction. Terry embodied the heart 
of our city and strived to improve the lives of workers, even when his 
own health was failing. His contributions to the International 
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, IBEW Local 134, and middle class 
workers changed countless lives and will continue to do so in his 
memory.
  Terry Allen was an inspiration to all who knew him. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring his legacy, celebrating his life, and 
remembering his illustrious contributions to the city of Chicago.
