  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker:
  Whereas, Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission has been 
enhancing the lives of Southern Ohio residents for 40 years; and
  Whereas, the twelve rural counties of Adams, Brown, Clermont, 
Fayette, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and 
Vinton came together in 1968 to create a centralized planning effort 
for the entire region; and
  Whereas, the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission serves these 
twelve counties 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 Ohio Valley Regional 
Development Commission on their contributions and service to the people 
of Southern Ohio. Congratulations to the Ohio Valley Regional 
Development Commission for 40 years of committed service.

                          ____________________
