                      CONGRATULATING DARYL VEATCH

  (Mrs. HARTZLER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in admiration of a leader in 
Missouri's Fourth District, Mr. Daryl Veatch.
  Daryl has served tirelessly to provide reliable light and energy to 
Missouri members of the Osage Valley Electric Cooperative, of which I 
am a lifelong member. After 43 years, Mr. Veatch has resigned his 
position as the general manager of Osage Valley in Butler, Missouri.
  His passion for excellence was seen throughout all of his work: from 
the beginning at Grundy Electric Cooperative, where he served as a 
clerk, to his tenure as the president of the Missouri Electric 
Cooperative Human Resources Association, the Accountants Association, 
and a member of the Public Relations Committee.
  This year Daryl was honored with the esteemed A.C. Burrows Award 
given by the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives for his 
leadership above and beyond the call of duty to strengthen and improve 
the economic and social conditions of his community.
  Part of going above and beyond for Daryl was being actively involved 
as a leader on the local Butler R-V School Board, the area Chamber of 
Commerce, and his Rotary Club.
  Thank you for giving your life to the service of the citizens of 
Missouri's Fourth District. I congratulate you on a job well done. I 
look forward to hearing of the continued impact you will have in and 
for our community.
