                      Wednesday, December 18, 2019

  Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Kendall W. Lane for his service as the Mayor of Keene, New Hampshire.
  After completing four-terms as the Mayor of Keene, Kendall announced 
his retirement this year. Kendall has a long history of public service 
and serving the city of Keene, which is marked by his service on the 
Keene City Council from 1986 until 1993 and again in 2007 until 2011. 
As Mayor, Kendall has many significant achievements during his time in 
office, including the redevelopment of Marlboro Street, renovations to 
the Keene Public Library, and the completion of the Keene Ice Arena in 
2016.
  As Mayor, Kendall has made climate change a focal point of the City's 
efforts, and during his tenure, the Keene Community created a clean 
energy committee and committed to transitioning to 100 percent 
renewable energy in ten years. Mayor Lane's distinguished

service has left a meaningful impact in the Monadnock Region and the 
Granite State.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's Second Congressional 
District, I commend Kendall Lane and wish him all the best in the 
coming years. I look forward to our continued work together to support 
the Keene community.
