                HONORING ALLAN BOGARD ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, a Texas legend, Houston Oilers Coach Bum 
Phillips, said this about Hall of Famer Earl Campbell:

       Earl may not be in a class by himself, but whatever class 
     he is in, it don't take long to call the roll.

  Those exact words apply to our retired city manager, Allan Bogard. 
Allan is retiring after 19 years running our city.
  Sugar Land is Sugar Land because of Allan. He created Sugar Land Town 
Center, brought Constellation Field, brought Minute Maid's headquarters 
to Sugar Land, made our airport number one in its class in America, all 
this while keeping a AAA bond rating.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 130,000 Texans who live in Sugar Land, 
Allan has given us a motto for all time: In Sugar Land, our sugar is so 
sweet, we have no Equal.
