  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I honor the 100th Anniversary of the 
Adams County Penn State Extension Program. From its beginnings at the 
Adams County Courthouse in 1916 until today, Adams County Extension has 
provided practical agriculture education to empower the citizens, 
businesses, and local communities in Adams County to solve problems, 
develop skills and build a better future.
  The Adams County Penn State Extension program has been a community 
leader in supporting productive, profitable, and competitive businesses 
as well as a strong agriculture and food system. The Extension has 
helped to ensure the long-term vitality of our natural resources and 
strengthened families and communities throughout Adams County.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, I'm proud 
to have this program in our District and congratulate the staff, 
volunteers and supporters on the 100th Anniversary of the Adams County 
Penn State Extension program.
