  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and honor 
Stanislaus County Agricultural Commissioner and Sealer of Weights Gary 
Caseri on his retirement. He retired on March 2, 2013, after 37 years 
of valuable service to the agricultural and business community and five 
years as the Agricultural Commissioner and Sealer of Weights for 
Stanislaus County.
  Mr. Caseri has been a committed member of the California Agricultural 
Commissioner and Sealers Association (CACASA) for over 12 years. He has 
enforced laws and regulations from a prospective of service and 
outreach to the agricultural and business communities.
  Mr. Caseri provided equity in the marketplace through fair 
enforcement of weights and measures laws and regulations. He was 
instrumental in establishing the first grower-led spray safe workshop--
an event designed to help pesticide applicators apply material in a 
safe manner.
  Mr. Caseri served on the Agricultural Advisory Board providing 
valuable guidance on important issues that included the Agricultural 
and the draft Ground Water Export Ordinance. Through his leadership on 
the CACASA Seed, Apiary and Nursery Committee, he facilitated the 
standardization of colony-strength inspection procedures used during 
the important almond pollination season.
  Mr. Caseri served on the Shell Egg Advisory Committee and was 
successful in establishing a model pilot retail egg inspection program, 
which will be used throughout the State of California.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Stanislaus County 
Agricultural Commissioner and Sealer of Weights Gary Caseri on his 
retirement and in wishing him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
