“H.R. 3334 would name the headquarters and the new visitor's center of the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge in California for Richard J. Guadagno, the refuge manager who lost his life in the crash of Flight 93 on September 11. I congratulate the gentleman from California (Mr. Thompson) for his efforts to honor a public servant whose life sadly ended much too soon. Richard Guadagno was only 38 years old, yet he had worked for the Fish and Wildlife Service for some 17 years in numerous refuges around the country, from Oregon to New Jersey. According to all who knew him well, he had a passion for wildlife management and worked tirelessly to enhance the habitat of the refuge system. He also was committed to providing public access and developing strong partnerships with other groups committed to the conservation of the refuge system.”
