  Ms. FUDGE. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the citizens of the Eleventh 
District of Ohio, I am pleased to recognize the opening of the Terrence 
M. Ryan Agricultural Center on June 14, 2013. Congratulations to all of 
the partners for their vision and determination in making this 
wonderful facility a reality.
  As a strong supporter of Cleveland Crops and its initiative to build 
an agricultural center in Cleveland, Ohio, I am pleased by the 
overwhelming community support and the relationships and partnerships 
that grew out of this project. The opening of the Terrence M. Ryan 
Agricultural Center speaks to the importance of reforming our local 
food system, and I am pleased to be a part of these efforts.
  I congratulate Cleveland Crops and the Cuyahoga County Board of 
Developmental Disabilities on the success of the opening of the 
Terrence M. Ryan Agricultural Center and the positive impact it will 
have on our community.
  I am proud to support the constituents of the Eleventh District of 
Ohio and am a vigorous supporter of our thriving urban agricultural 
community.
