  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Mayor Mike Ochs for his 
contribution to our state and the City of North Vernon.
  Throughout his career, Mike has served Jennings County and the City 
of North Vernon with honor and integrity. From his time as a sheriff's 
deputy to his service as mayor, Mike has made improving the quality of 
life in North Vernon and the surrounding area his main priority. Our 
state is better off today because of his extraordinary leadership and 
service.
  On a personal note, Mike has been a loyal friend and wise adviser 
during my entire tenure in Congress. I want to thank him for his 
friendship and support of my work. I wish him continued success in all 
that God has planned for him and his family.
