                           HONORING JUNE SORG

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Elk County, Pennsylvania, Commissioner June Sorg. June was honored 
recently with the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania's 
Outstanding Commissioner of the Year Award and with the Special 
Presidential Award. This award recognizes a commissioner who has 
contributed to the advancement of county government.
  June has a long career of public service, serving for six terms as 
county commissioner, totaling 24 years. In that time, she has been a 
leader in Elk County on issues ranging from human services, workforce 
investment, prison issues, infrastructure improvement, recycling, and 
environmental issues.
  Specific accomplishments during June's tenure include consolidation 
of county offices to a centralized location, improvements to the 
county's jail, and the construction of Elk County's new emergency 
management center.
  As you know, Mr. Speaker, county commissioners across the country 
dedicate countless hours toward the improvement of counties and 
communities that they serve. I know that June's Sorg's work proves this 
is true in Elk County.
