  Mrs. MUSGRAVE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the Natural 
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), specifically Mary Miller and 
John Knapp of the La Junta, Co., NRCS Office for all of the wonderful 
work they do for rural Colorado and many of my constituents in 
Colorado's Fourth Congressional District.
  NRCS has worked diligently to help farmers and ranchers in Eastern 
Colorado through this time of hardship and drought. Moreover, Mary and 
John have given special attention to briefing congressional staffers on 
many of the issues facing these farmers and ranchers. Their service to 
the agricultural communities of Eastern Colorado is greatly appreciated 
by my staff and myself.
