                        Tuesday, August 13, 2019

  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, it is with great appreciation that I rise 
today to recognize and honor the Harveys Lake Protective Association on 
its 100 years of service.
  Northeast Pennsylvania is home to an abundance of natural beauty, and 
chief among the many natural treasures found in the Ninth District is 
Harveys Lake in Luzerne County. For a century now, the Harveys Lake 
Protective Association (HLPA) has been a faithful steward of this lake, 
ensuring it remains a place where friends and families can enjoy and 
continue to make memories that will last a lifetime.
  We owe a great deal of gratitude to HLPA for conserving the lake, 
establishing local emergency services, and preserving this peaceful 
spot in our great Commonwealth. A 1920 record from the Association's 
meeting reads, ``Nature has given us, in the lake, a most beautiful 
spot for a summer home. By working together through our Association, we 
can prevent many things which would tend to mar its attractiveness and 
can accomplish much in the making it a better place at which to live.'' 
A testament to HLPA's dedicated efforts, Harveys Lake has retained its 
beauty every summer and in every season.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives and the citizens of 
Pennsylvania's Ninth Congressional District, I extend my sincerest 
gratitude to HLPA as we celebrate its centennial anniversary. This 
great milestone serves as a reminder of all the great work HLPA has 
done over the last 100 years and the good work it will continue to do 
to preserve this gem for the next 100 years and beyond.
