  Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, this is a proclamation to 
acknowledge Mr. Allen C. ``Pete'' Ogden as president of the Western 
Pennsylvania State Association of Township Commissioners.
  In addition to his civic accomplishments, Mr. Ogden is a retired 
business manager from Iroquois School District where he also taught 
mathematics. He is a devoted family man and has been married to Pat for 
40 years. Together they have three grown children--Pam, Paula, and 
Peter--as well as three grandchildren--Jennifer, Nicole, and Matthew.
  He has been a Lawrence Park Township commissioner for the last 15 
years and 7 of those years he has served as president of the board. 
Despite the demands of being a part-time commissioner on a full-time 
basis, Mr. Ogden also manages to be vice president of Northwest 
Planning, an executive board member of the East Erie Communications 
Center, delegate to the Erie Area Council of Governments, the Watershed 
Plan Advisory Board, the Allegheny League of Municipalities, the Erie 
County Association of Township Officials, as well as a member of the 
Erie County Library Committee, the Erie Eye Bank Association, the 
Runner's Club, and the Lions Club.
  Please join me in recognizing Mr. Ogden as State president and thank 
him for his many years of dedicated public service.
