  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Paul 
Scott. He has been recognized as the 2017 employee of the year by the 
City of Kent, for his hard work and dedicated commitment to go above 
and beyond what is asked of him.
  Selected from a pool of over 600 people, Mr. Scott is the Public 
Works Accounting Manager for the City of Kent where he oversees the 
city's financial policies, labor agreements, accounting, and reporting 
systems. Mr. Scott has been a dedicated employee for over 25 years.
  In the City of Kent, the Employee of the Year award is entirely peer 
nominated and peer selected, which speaks to the level of respect Mr. 
Scott has fostered in the community. The amount of support Mr. Scott's 
peers have shown for him highlights the remarkable work he does. He can 
be regarded as an important example of what a devoted employee looks 
like, and his achievement serves to motivate civil servants all over 
the community.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I recognize Mr. Paul Scott 
for his years of dedicated work for the City of Kent, and congratulate 
him on his well-deserved award.
