  RECOGNIZING MARICOPA COUNTY SUPERVISORS STEVE CHUCRI AND BILL GATES

  (Mr. BIGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BIGGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the just completed 
chairmanship of Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Chucri and to 
congratulate the incoming chairman, Supervisor Bill Gates.
  Maricopa County is the Nation's fastest growing county, and Steve 
Chucri has had a lot to do with our success. He has led efforts on the 
board of supervisors to create a healthier urban environment, foster 
more job connections, fight homelessness, and sustain good governance. 
We are thankful for his service as chairman of the board of 
supervisors.
  Incoming chairman is Supervisor Bill Gates, and I congratulate him on 
his new post. I know he will continue to lead Maricopa County well 
throughout this next year.
  I am grateful for individuals like Steve Chucri and Bill Gates who 
help to make Maricopa County an attractive destination to millions of 
men, women, and children.
