  Ms. KUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Richard ``Dick'' Cohen 
as he retires after more than four decades of professional service in 
the public interest. We are grateful for his dedication to protecting 
the rights of people with disabilities. By fighting to ensure equal 
opportunities for all, he improved countless lives across the Granite 
State and beyond.
  I want to thank Dick for his leadership and great work as Executive 
Director of the Disability Rights Center since 2002. He has been an 
invaluable resource to individuals with disabilities and their families 
in our state. We are forever grateful for his extraordinary work to 
strengthen disability rights and our community health system.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's Second Congressional 
District, I thank Dick for everything he has done in advocating for the 
most vulnerable in our state. I am honored to recognize and 
congratulate Dick on his retirement and wish him the best of luck on 
his next steps.
