                     HONORING JAY ``BUCK'' SWISHER

  (Mr. BARLETTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Jay ``Buck'' Swisher upon 
his retirement as a field representative for Pennsylvania's 11th 
Congressional District.
  A lifelong resident of Pennsylvania, Buck graduated from Biglerville 
High School in 1968 and attended the DeVry Institute of Technology in 
Chicago, Illinois. He entered the United States Army, serving as an 
instructor and radar technician in the Signal Corp from 1970 to 1973. 
After leaving the Army, Buck dedicated 30 years to the telephone 
industry.
  Buck began working as a field representative for Congressman Todd 
Platts in September 2003 before coming to work in my Carlisle office in 
January 2013. Throughout more than 10 years of Federal service, he has 
assisted countless residents of Cumberland County with everything from 
Medicare to the presentation of Girl Scout and Boy Scout awards.
  Outside the office, Buck is an active member of the Cumberland County 
community. He is a devoted husband to his wife, Diane, and a proud 
father to four daughters and has three grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, for over 10 years, Buck Swisher has shown outstanding 
dedication to Cumberland County. I commend him on his hard work and 
commitment, and I wish him the best on his retirement. He will be 
greatly missed.
