          NORTHERN CALIFORNIA POWER AGENCY'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the Northern 
California Power Agency, also known as NCPA, on its 50th anniversary.
  NCPA was established in 1968 by a consortium of locally owned 
electric utilities to make joint investments in energy resources that 
would ensure an affordable, reliable, and clean supply of electricity 
for customers in its member communities.
  The agency's mission is to provide members with reliable, efficient, 
and cost-effective wholesale power and energy-related services. I can 
tell you that, during my time in Congress as well as my time in the 
California State Legislature, the agency meets that mission with flying 
marks.
  They also own and operate nearly 260 megawatts of in-state hydropower 
resources that generate carbon-free electricity for Californians while 
also providing many outdoor recreational benefits, helping to meet the 
renewable mandate for electricity in the State.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in commending the NCPA 
for 50 years of invaluable service to its public power members and 
their respective communities.
