  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Fort Bend 
County Historical Commissioners for winning the Texas Historical 
Commission Distinguished Service Award.
  The Commission is comprised of volunteer historians and 
preservationists appointed by the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court 
to protect Texas history, culture and education throughout the state. 
Volunteers have dedicated over 480,000 hours to recognizing, protecting 
and transcribing various parts of Texas history so future Texans can 
continue to learn the heritage of our great state.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to the Fort Bend County Historical Commissioners 
for winning the THC Distinguished Service Award. We appreciate your 
continued efforts to preserve the history that has made Texas so great.
