 RECOGNIZING MICHAEL LANE HARVEY ON HIS ELECTION AS VICE PRESIDENT OF 
              THE 2019 ILLINOIS FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 18, 2019

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Michael Lane Harvey 
on his election as vice president of the 2019 Illinois FFA.
  Mr. Lane's background should serve him well in his new position. He 
served the past few years as his school's FFA representative and more 
recently as president of Illinois FFA Section 23. In that post, he 
served the farming interests of thirteen area schools as a state 
officer. After being voted in by over 400 delegates and over 5,000 
members from across Illinois at the 91st Illinois FFA State Convention 
held in Springfield, Mr. Lane will be taking on even greater 
responsibilities as he represents over 20,000 FFA members and advisors.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Michael Lane Harvey on his election as 
vice president of the 2019 Illinois FFA. I have always enjoyed working 
with our agricultural leaders, especially those in the blue jacket. I 
would like to extend my well wishes to Mr. Lane, the entire State 
Officer Team, and all members of the Illinois FFA.
