Mr. PAUL.
Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to the Rev. Msgr. Clyde Holtman on the occasion of his
retirement. The Reverend Holtman was born in Westphalia, Texas. He was
also baptized, made his First Communion, was confirmed, was ordained to
the priesthood May 15, 1949, and offered his first Mass in the Church
of the Visitation in that same community.

Msgr. Holtman has
served in
eleven parishes in the Austin Diocese for over 50 years. He has also
served as Dean of the LaGrange Deanery, Judge of the Marriage Tribunal,
Diocesan Resettlement Director, Diocesan Consultant and President of
the Infirm Priests Fund.

On May 30, 1985,
Msgr. Holtman was
invested as a Prelate of Honor in the Church by Pope John Paul II.

Msgr. Holtman has
touched
thousands of lives in the central Texas area. I ask my colleagues to
join me in congratulating Reverend Holtman on his retirement.
