                  RECOGNIZING 158TH BIRTHDAY OF KANSAS

  (Mr. MARSHALL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARSHALL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize my home 
State's 158th birthday.
  As we traveled thousands of miles throughout Kansas this past week 
and enjoyed some time pheasant hunting countryside with my family, I 
spent a lot of time reflecting on the great things that the Wheat State 
has to offer.
  Kansas is known for its abundance of farmland that is used to grow 
crops far and wide producing the food we eat across the Nation and 
across the world. It is home to the most stunning sunsets you could 
ever witness and the beautiful Flint Hills that stretch over 150 miles 
where I grew up working, hunting, and fishing.
  But my absolute favorite part about the State I call home are the 
people. Where I am from, we always put our faith in family first; we 
support each other, uplift each other, and are resilient through tough 
times. I am honored to represent so many wonderful people and proud to 
be a Kansan.
