  Mrs. JOHNSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and 
appreciation that I rise today to express my congratulations and 
appreciation to Mark J. Ruwet for his 25 years of dedicated service to 
the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency.
  Mr. Ruwet has been committed to agriculture throughout his life. For 
the past 25 years, he has dedicated himself to the farmers of 
Connecticut, first as a county executive director from Litchfield 
County and most recently as program specialist. His years of hard work 
and tireless efforts have brought tremendous benefits to the farmers 
within the State. Mr. Ruwet's support and commitment to Connecticut's 
farmers is to be commended.
  Mr. Mark Ruwet deserves the many accolades he will receive as he is 
honored for his accomplishments and dedication. For his tremendous 
contribution to farmers in Connecticut, I salute and thank him.
