CONGRATULATIONS RICK ZIEGENFUSS FOR RECEIVING THE 2016 MISSOURIAN AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 30, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Rick Ziegenfuss, for receiving the 2016 Missourian Award. Rick is the 
city administrator for Hollister, Missouri. The Missourian Award 
recognizes native Missourians for their outstanding accomplishments in 
business, civic, arts or politics.
  It is important that we strive to better the community we live in and 
it is apparent that Mr. Ziegenfuss from Missouri's 7th Congressional 
District has continually done that.
  The Missourian Award, created by local Springfield business and 
community leader Ralph Slavens and his late wife Corrine, is a 
prestigious award that acknowledges the most accomplished citizens of 
Missouri and to receive the award one must have been born in the state 
of Missouri.
  I am proud of the initiative that Mr. Ziegenfuss has taken to make 
the great state of Missouri the best it can be. I urge my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating him on this tremendous honor.

                          ____________________
