  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Jim Conner on being named the 2005 President of the 
Pennsylvania Builders Association.
  Jim is the owner of Conner Construction in New Castle, Pennsylvania 
and has been a member of the Pennsylvania Builders Association for 18 
years. Prior to being elected President he has served as regional vice 
president, director, treasurer and secretary not to mention serving on 
the membership and bylaw committees. In 2001, Mr. Conner was named the 
Pennsylvania Builders Association's Small Contractor of the Year.
  Locally, Mr. Conner has served two terms as President of the Lawrence 
County Builders Association, 5 years as a national representative and 
has been on the board of directors for the past 10 years. Mr. Conner is 
also an active member of the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, of 
the New Castle Mahoning Lodge 243 and the Coachmen Conservation Club. 
He is married to his wife Kathy and has two sons, Patrick and Justin.
  I ask my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to join me 
in honoring Jim Conner. It is an honor to represent the Fourth 
Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute 
citizens such as Jim who make the communities that they live in truly 
special.
