                       Tuesday, February 25, 2014

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, State Representative Paul Clymer is a 
principled leader, a man of character, veteran, and strong advocate for 
the citizens of the 145th legislative district of Bucks County, 
Pennsylvania. We honor his service to our country, state and community, 
as we also recognize his leadership in the Pennsylvania House of 
Representatives, where he chairs the Education Committee and is a 
member of the Gaming Oversight Committee. Representative Clymer plans 
to retire at the end of the year, having served in state office for 34 
years. An avid historian, he was responsible for developing funding 
strategies for the restoration and preservation of 85 of 147 Civil War 
monuments on the historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania battlefield. 
Additionally, he is chairman of the committee working to preserve the 
historic integrity of the state Capitol building, its architecture, 
furniture, paintings and artifacts. On these and other issues important 
to the people he represents, namely, open space, farmland preservation, 
public transportation, gaming, veterans affairs, business and jobs, 
Representative Paul Clymer rises above the crowd, and in so doing, has 
set an outstanding example for others to follow.
