                    PUBLIC SERVICE RECOGNITION WEEK

  (Mr. WITTMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize our Nation's 
public servants and to thank them for their important contributions to 
our country.
  In every community across America, Federal employees work to make 
sure our government is effective and keeps us safe. Their daily 
contributions to their fellow citizens, and to the cause of freedom, 
are simply immeasurable. In America's First District, there are many 
hardworking and dedicated patriots who serve the people of this Nation 
every day.
  As we celebrate Public Service Recognition Week, which started on 
Sunday, May 6, and ends on Saturday, May 12, I want to express my 
utmost gratitude to the country's Federal employees, as well as our 
dedicated State, county, and local public servants for their tireless 
service. I am proud to represent the tens of thousands of Federal 
employees, retirees, and local and State government officials who live 
in the First District of Virginia.
  The Federal workforce is full of dedicated and committed citizens who 
exemplify patriotism in everything they do. I hope my colleagues will 
join me in honoring them for their service to ensure the security of 
our Nation.
