  Mr. LEE of New York. Madam Speaker, I ask that the House join me in 
recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Kitchen Konference, held 
every year for the last 50 years in Warsaw, New York.
  The Warsaw Kitchen Konference first met on February 1, 1960, as a 
group of Wyoming County Farm Bureau members for the purpose of 
discussing issues affecting the Western New York agricultural 
community. While

some membership in the Konference has changed over the last 60 years, 
their dedication to addressing the issues involving agriculture has 
remained constant, and the group has met every year since its founding.
  Over the last 60 years, the Warsaw Kitchen Konference has hosted the 
Wyoming County Board of Supervisors to discuss agricultural issues, has 
promoting agriculture in the Wyoming County Fair, has hosted school 
children at local farms, and have done many other activities to advance 
the agriculture industry in Western New York.
  Agriculture is one of Western New York's most significant industries, 
and the Warsaw Kitchen Konference and its members have played an 
important role in furthering this vital industry.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that this House join me in honoring the Warsaw 
Kitchen Konference on their 50th anniversary, and for their work in 
furthering Western New York's agricultural community.
