            CELEBRATING THE RETIREMENT OF DEBBIE BONE-HARRIS

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Debbie Bone-
Harris as she begins her retirement from the Franklin Public Utility 
District.
  Deb began working for Franklin PUD in 2003 and has held many roles 
throughout the organization. She has been a stalwart advocate for 
hydropower in the Northwest. She has spent countless hours educating 
our community about the value of the Columbia and the Snake River dams, 
and she has worked with both State and Federal legislators to advocate 
for their protection.
  Deb is a leader, not only with the Franklin PUD, but in the greater 
community as well. She has served on numerous boards and held 
leadership roles with community organizations, including Pasco Chamber 
of Commerce, Visit Tri-Cities, Tri-Cities Legislative Council, 
Washington Public Utility District, Northwest Public Power Association, 
and Pacific Northwest Waterways Association.
  As Deb begins her well-earned retirement, our community wishes her 
the best as she enjoys spending more time with her grandchildren, going 
on hotrod adventures with her husband, and attending those rowdy sewing 
conventions.
  I thank Deb for her advocacy and congratulate her.
