  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Dr. 
Terry W. Heiman. Terry retired June 30 after 33 years serving the 
Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
  Terry has served as the Director of Agricultural Education since 
1984, providing the leadership and vision that has provided Missouri 
with a strong and expanding agricultural education program. Individual 
enrollment in agricultural education has doubled during Terry's 
leadership, with programs currently in 326 high schools and 12 
community colleges. Terry also served as the state advisor to the 
Missouri Future Farmers of America program, watching that program grow 
to include more than 25,000 members. National organizations have also 
benefitted from Terry's leadership, including his time as National 
President of the National Supervisors of Agricultural Education and as 
a board member of the National FFA. Terry's commitment to agriculture 
has been recognized by the University of Missouri-Columbia as the 
College of Agriculture Alumnus of the Year and by the Missouri Farm 
Bureau for Outstanding Service to Agriculture.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Dr. Terry W. 
Heiman for his accomplishments with the Missouri Department of 
Elementary and Secondary Education and in wishing him the best of luck 
in the years to come.
