                     IN RECOGNITION OF RON EMERSON

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Yorkville 
Village, Ohio, Council Member Ron Emerson for his commitment to the 
community and for the years he has served as a public servant.
  Mr. Emerson has served the people of Yorkville, Ohio, for 56 years. 
He was first elected to the Yorkville Village Council in 1963 and 
worked tirelessly to help the people of his hometown.
  During his tenure, he has supported many civic improvements, secured 
new

equipment for the police and fire departments, and even helped secure a 
World War II cannon for the local war memorial.
  When Mr. Emerson is not serving the people of Yorkville, he can often 
be found at Ohio Stadium cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes football 
team.
  Yorkville will be better off for generations to come thanks to Mr. 
Emerson's service, and I am proud to call him not only a constituent, 
but a friend.
  I applaud Mr. Emerson's commitment to making a difference in his 
community, and I urge my colleagues to join me in acknowledging his 
service.
