                      RETIREMENT OF JOHN GUERRIERO

  (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, this week marked the 
retirement of John Guerriero, who has covered politics for the Erie 
Times-News for more than three decades.
  John joined the Times-News in 1981 after graduating from college. 
John's stories have focused on just about anything you can imagine, 
from local, State, and Federal politics, education issues, to stories 
involving court cases in Erie and those involving gambling.
  With background on so many issues, it is common for John to follow up 
on action here in Washington with questions on how it might impact the 
Erie region.
  Mr. Speaker, I have long followed his work in the newspaper, but I 
had the chance to truly interact with John in 2013 when he spent 
several days with Congressman Mike Kelly and myself here on Capitol 
Hill. I was glad to talk with him about representing Pennsylvania's 
largest congressional district, and about how priorities and concerns 
across the district often lead to policies discussed here on the House 
floor.
  I wish John the best of luck in retirement and congratulate him on a 
wonderful career.
