  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Joe 
Lyle for his distinguished service to the Savannah Rural Fire 
Protection District in Missouri. Joe is one of the founding board 
members for the district, and has served 32 years as the board's 
chairman.
  During Joe's tenure as chairman, the district has overseen the 
construction of three new fire houses and purchased numerous fire 
trucks and fire equipment. The district has also acquired top of the 
line safety equipment to assist in the protection of the residents of 
the district. Joe's leadership and vision have been instrumental to the 
district's efforts to expand service and protection to the community. 
Joe has also been heavily involved in organizing fire protection 
services to the communities surrounding the City of Savannah.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Joe Lyle, a 
dedicated volunteer, whose service to the Savannah Rural Fire 
Protection District is to be commended. I wish to congratulate Joe on 
his contributions accomplishments and I am honored to serve him in the 
United States Congress.
