  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker:
  Whereas, Buckeye Hills-Hocking Valley Regional Development District 
has been enhancing the lives of Southeast Ohio residents for 40 years; 
and
  Whereas, the nine rural counties of Athens, Hocking, Meigs, Monroe, 
Noble, Perry and Washington came together in 1968 to create a 
centralized planning effort for the entire region; and
  Whereas, the Buckeye Hills-Hocking Valley Regional Development 
District serves over 255,000 residents by planning public works 
projects and social services that benefit the entire region; therefore, 
be it
  Resolved that along with their friends, family, and the residents of 
the 18th Congressional District, I commend Buckeye Hills-Hocking Valley 
Regional Development District on their contributions and service to the 
people of Southeast Ohio. Congratulations to Buckeye Hills-Hocking 
Valley Regional Development District for 40 years of committed service.
