  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize the National 
Association of Retired Federal Employees, Chapter 307 of St. Joseph, 
Missouri on this, their 50th Anniversary.
  The National Association of Retired Federal Employees is dedicated to 
protecting the earned retirement benefits of Federal employees, 
retirees and their survivors. The organization was founded in 1921 by 
fourteen Federal employees and has grown over the years to more than 
400,000 Federal and Postal employees, retirees, spouses and survivors.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Chapter 307 
for their accomplishments with the National Association of Retired 
Federal Employees and in congratulating them on their 50th anniversary.
