  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize the 
Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments for their milestone 
achievement of fifty years of service for the betterment of the local 
communities they serve.
   The Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments, formerly 
called the Northwest Missouri Regional Planning Commission, is one of 
twenty regional planning commissions in Missouri, which grew out of the 
State and Regional Planning and Community Development Act of 1966, 
permitting the establishment of regional planning commissions to 
resolve common community problems on a regional basis. Since their 
founding in 1968, the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of 
Governments has been assisting their member counties and cities with 
engineering studies, grant applications, and coordinating regional 
efforts to the benefit of my constituents.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask that you join me in celebrating these 
achievements and promoting the ongoing mission of the Northwest 
Missouri Regional Council of Governments.
