                          TRIBUTE TO DON HOUSE

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, I wish to honor Don House, who 
will retire as the Walnut Ridge Mayor after 4 years of public service 
to the citizens of the community.
  Mayor House constantly stressed the spirit of cooperation within and 
between each city department, and the importance of good work ethic 
among its employees. That is why when he began his service as mayor he 
met with all of the community's employees.
  Don led a reorganization of the police department in an effort to 
serve the needs of the community more responsibly, including a 
crackdown on drug dealers and drug manufacturers within the city. Don 
also oversaw the completion of the Northeast Arkansas Water Authority 
project, improving the water quality in Walnut Ridge.

  In addition to serving as mayor, Don lived in Lawrence County most of 
his life, owned House-Gregg Funeral Home--a local funeral home and 
family business, and held office in the Arkansas State House of 
Representatives.
  I applaud Don for his outstanding achievements and success as city 
mayor. My staff and I have enjoyed working with Mayor House on the 
projects important to Walnut Ridge. I am truly appreciative of his 
dedication, leadership, and eagerness to serve Arkansas.
