                        Wednesday, June 8, 2016

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
retirement of Dave Breidinger, a man of commitment and service.
  Whether we speak of Dave Breidinger's accomplishments during his 
career with Comcast or in the community, Dave has served with 
unwavering dedication. On this special milestone of his retirement, we 
come to celebrate the positive impact that Dave had on so many people's 
lives.
  Dave began his career managing a local franchise. He retires today as 
the Senior Vice President of Government Affairs for Comcast's Northeast 
Division States. I had the pleasure to work with Dave on federal 
government communication related issues. His contributions to Comcast 
have been unparalleled, as they have significantly expanded 
communication in the Northeast region.
  Equally important to Dave's accomplishments at Comcast and his 
commitment to professional associations, is the extensive range of his 
community involvement. He has been involved with groups including the 
Rotary Club, Salvation Army, and the Boys and Girls Club.
  Currently, he serves on numerous boards including the Bucks County 
Community College Foundation Board and the St. Mary Medical Center 
Advisory Board. Dave is also Chairman of the Board of Pearl S. Buck 
International which works to build better lives for children around the 
world--an organization located in my district which I have great pride 
representing in the United States House of Representatives.
  In honor of his time, hard work, and selfless spirit, Dave has 
received a multitude of awards including the Rotary District 7510 
``Matty'' Mathewson Rotarian of the Year award, the Boy Scouts of 
America ``Spirit of America'' award, and leadership awards from the 
NJCTA, the CTAMDDC and from the Broadband Cable Association of 
Pennsylvania. He was also inducted into the Cable Television Pioneers 
for his instrumental part in the Cable Television Industry.
  David Breidinger's 35 years of work for Comcast and outstanding 
leadership is deeply appreciated. We are grateful for David's 
commitment and service and know he will continue to inspire others in 
the Northampton Township and beyond.
