  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Barren River 
Area Development District (BRADD) for their fifty years of service and 
dedication to the betterment of Western Kentucky communities. Since 
1968, BRADD staff has assisted local economic leaders in securing 
federal funding for developing projects in each of the ten counties 
they serve, including five within the First Congressional District of 
Kentucky.
   I am grateful for every staff member who has committed themselves to 
promoting economic and community development. The combination of their 
entrepreneurial spirits and sustained dedication to public service has 
not only enhanced the lives of individuals in the region, but has 
spurred economic opportunities and growth throughout the Commonwealth.
   This significant milestone is a testament to their steadfast 
influence on the surrounding area and a recognition of their esteemed 
record of excellence. I join with those they have diligently served 
their fellow citizens throughout the last five decades and look forward 
to many more years of continued success from this outstanding 
organization.
