  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise, today, to congratulate Mr. Jon ware, 
a constituent of mine, on his recent election to the post of senior

  It is, indeed, an honor for me to be able to offer my compliments and 
best wishes to Mr. Ware.
  This recent election only serves to highlight his exemplary career 
and service to his community.
  His depth and breadth of experience in the oil and petroleum business 
will undoubtedly serve his organization well as he assumes the post of 
senior vice president.
  Jon has been a petroleum marketer since 1959, and over the years he 
has served in a variety of jobs and capacities within the petroleum 
industry, including past president of the Illinois Petroleum Marketers 
Association [IPMA], director of the IPMA to the PMAA, and a regional 
vice president of the PMAA.
  In addition to Jon's outstanding record in his profession, he has 
been actively involved in serving his community of Jacksonville, IL.
  His civic services have included involvement in community youth 
sports leagues, service as past president of a local YMCA, chairman of 
the Jacksonville Airport Authority, and a member of the Advisory 
Council of the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to be able to offer my sincerest 
congratulations to Jon Ware on his latest achievement. I wish him good 
luck as he assumes his new responsibilities.
