HONORING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF DR. RICHARD ALLEY

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 99 (Thursday, June 11, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 99 (Thursday, June 11, 2026)] [House] [Page H4101] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF DR. RICHARD ALLEY (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, I, as well, rise today along with my colleague, Congressman Bresnahan, to honor the contributions of Dr. Richard Alley, a great American from Bear Creek Township, Pennsylvania, who passed away this month at the age of 91. Dr. Alley was born in Berwick, Pennsylvania, the center of my district. He dedicated his life to caring for friends and neighbors as a physician and was a proud veteran of the United States Navy. During his distinguished career in medicine, Dr. Alley served as an attending physician at Mercy Hospital in Wilkes-Barre and as a medical consultant at facilities across the region. When he wasn't caring for his patients, Richard was teaching medical students at Drexel Medical School. Dr. Alley also generously gave his time to community organizations, including the Rotary Club, the Salvation Army, the Northeastern Pennsylvania Boy Scouts of America, and was himself an Eagle Scout. Dr. Alley's legacy of service lives on in his siblings, Ali, Samie, Albert, and Elaine; and every student he taught and every patient he treated. Mr. Speaker, please join Congressman Bresnahan and I as we express our deepest condolences to Dr. Alley's family, friends, and community. ____________________
