                      Wednesday, February 1, 2017

  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition 
of Scott Graves, Staff Director of the House Committee on Agriculture. 
After 10 years of dedicated service to agriculture policy on Capitol 
Hill, Scott is leaving his position on the Committee at the end of this 
month.
  As Staff Director of the House Committee on Agriculture, Scott has 
helped develop a strategic vision for the Committee and its forty-five 
Members that has directly shaped American agriculture policy. Working 
directly alongside Chairman Mike Conaway, Scott has also dedicated 
himself to working for the best interests of all members of the 
agriculture community.
  Having worked with Scott personally, I have seen firsthand the level 
of expertise and commitment that has made him an invaluable asset to 
the Committee. His hard work has benefited not only the staff he works 
with daily, but the Members on both sides of the aisle that he has 
loyally served.
  In today's age, it is a rarity to find the combination of character, 
ability, and professionalism that Scott exemplifies. On behalf of the 
House Committee on Agriculture, I would like to thank Scott for his 
service and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
