                         Thursday, May 6, 2010

  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Senator Cap Dierks on his induction to the Nebraska Hall of 
Agricultural Achievement for his long and valuable service to 
agriculture.
  The Hall is an organization whose primary purpose is to acknowledge 
and preserve the records of those citizens of Nebraska who have made 
outstanding contributions to the well-being of Nebraska's agricultural 
way of life.
  A rancher and veterinarian by profession, Cap was elected to the 
State Legislature in 1986 and served as the Chair of the Agriculture 
Committee for 10 years.
  I had the pleasure of serving with Cap in the Legislature, and he is 
extremely deserving of this honor. I've seen his dedication to Nebraska 
agriculture firsthand, and his spirit and verve were always an 
inspiration. He was always there with advice or simply a friendly word 
of encouragement.
  I want to thank Cap for his service and once again, congratulate him 
on this honor.
