                                  _____

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 4, 2015

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 90th Anniversary 
of the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC).
  NYSAC was established by a group of committed local leaders in 1925 
for the purposes of training county officials and advocating for the 
needs of local governments. Since that time, the organization has 
become the only statewide association representing the interests of New 
York's 62 counties, including the five boroughs of New York City.
  NYSAC advocates for the interests of taxpayers and county officials 
at the state and federal levels of government. In addition, the 
association provides its members with training, educational resources, 
and information relating to public policy.
  Despite the tremendous diversity found in New York, NYSAC has 
consistently and effectively promoted the best interests of all its 
members, from the urban areas downstate to the rural and suburban areas 
of my congressional district. I commend NYSAC on its ability to combine 
such different perspectives into a single unified mission that serves 
the interests of each county.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my sincere pleasure to congratulate NYSAC on 90 
years of excellent service to the counties, citizens, and officials of 
the State of New York. The professionalism and commitment displayed by 
the association's staff have ensured the effective management and 
delivery of county services. I salute NYSAC for a job well done, and 
extend my best wishes for continued success in the future.
