      NEW ENGLAND CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION

 Mrs. SHAHEEN. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the 
60th anniversary of the New England Chapter of the American Public 
Works Association.
  Sixty years ago marked the first meeting of the New England Chapter 
of the American Public Works Association, which includes Massachusetts, 
Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and my home State of New Hampshire. 
This organization has been an integral part of our State, bridging our 
past to our future through education and public service.
  The members of this dedicated organization have built the 
infrastructure, from highways to water supply treatment systems, that 
is critical to New Hampshire's well-being and economic strength.
  As a former Governor of New Hampshire, I understand the importance of 
this organization and the positive impacts of their work on all New 
Hampshire residents. During my time as Governor, I appointed an 
American Public Works member, Carl Quiram, to the New Hampshire Solid 
Waste Task Force, which was designed to study the effects of limited 
disposal capacity for solid waste in our State. His work and the work 
of all the members of the New England Chapter of the American Public 
Works Association have had truly meaningful impacts on the lives of 
residents in New Hampshire and around the country.
  It is my honor to recognize the New England Chapter of the American 
Public Works Association's 60th anniversary.
