  Mr. TURNER. Madam Speaker, the state of Ohio has been greatly blessed 
to have leaders like Ralph Regula, Dave Hobson, and Deborah Pryce 
working for them in the United States Congress. Their decades of hard 
work and outstanding service have made the state of Ohio a better place 
and have set an example for the rest of the Ohio Delegation. I am proud 
to have had the opportunity to work with them on the issues affecting 
our state and our nation. Ralph Regula has been a great example of 
service and statesmanship as the Dean of the Ohio Delegation. Dave 
Hobson has been a role model and mentor for me since I took office in 
2003 and I appreciate his friendship and support. Deb Pryce has been a 
graceful and determined leader for all Ohioans over her 16 years in 
Congress. I join the rest of my colleagues in congratulating Ralph 
Regula, Dave Hobson, and Deborah Pryce, on their service to their 
districts, our State, and the United States of America.
