  Mr. SPACE. Madam Speaker:
  Whereas, the NAEW conducts research on ways to manage land to protect 
and improve water quality; and
  Whereas, the NAEW works to reduce and prevent flood damages to 
agricultural areas in Southeastern Ohio; and
  Whereas, the NAEW's research has sweeping implications for how water 
resources can be better managed in agricultural and rural settings all 
across the country; and
  Whereas, the NAEW has received a ``Friend of the Extension'' Award 
from the Ohio State University Extension for the strengthened 
partnership between them, and for their aid in education about 
forestry, soils, grazing, beef feeding, and many other important rural 
knowledge bases; now, therefore, be it
  Resolved that, along with the Ohio State University Extension, 
friends and family of the NAEW, and the residents of the 18th 
Congressional District, I congratulate the North Appalachian 
Experimental Watershed for receiving this award, and commend their 
continued work in making water usage in agricultural areas safer, more 
efficient, and more environmentally friendly.
