                       WARREN COUNTY BICENTENNIAL

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Warren County, Pennsylvania's recent bicentennial.
  In March of 1819, the Pennsylvania General Assembly approved 
legislation to establish Warren County. On October 1, later that year, 
the legislation became official, and Warren County became a part of the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
  This occasion was celebrated earlier this month at the Warren County 
Courthouse, with local leaders and live entertainment, including the 
Youngsville High School band. In addition to the remarks and 
performances, a time capsule was buried on the grounds.
  As an avid outdoorsman, I am proud to call Warren County a part of my 
district, particularly for its beautiful natural landscapes. Home to a 
portion of the Allegheny National Forest, Warren County has beautiful 
outdoor spaces that rival much of the Commonwealth.
  This bicentennial is an exciting occasion, and I would like to 
congratulate Warren County on this milestone. I wish them continued 
success in the next 200 years.
