  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize Bioneers on 
the occasion of the organization's 25th Anniversary Summit Conference, 
which will take place in October of 2014.
   Since Kenny Asubel and Nina Simons founded Bioneers, the 
organization has become an important resource for innovators seeking to 
solve the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges. 
Through the annual conference and various educational programs, 
Bioneers connects diverse groups of people to share new, creative ideas 
and generate positive change at local, regional and international 
levels. Bioneers has provided one of the planet's primary incubators to 
help lay the foundation for sustainable and restorative alternatives to 
the environmentally destructive aspects of the modern global economy.
   Bioneers has been a vital tool for the people of California's Second 
Congressional District and beyond, and I am confident that the 
organization will continue to serve as a leading-edge think tank for 
many years to come. Please join me in congratulating Bioneers on their 
25th anniversary celebration and wish them many more successful years.

                          ____________________
