                        RECOGNIZING PABLO CUEVAS

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Madam Speaker, if you were to attend any public event in 
Rockingham County, it is likely that you would have the privilege of 
meeting Pablo Cuevas.
  Today, I rise to recognize Pablo because, after seven terms and a 30-
year tenure on the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors, he has 
recently retired.
  Cuevas encapsulates the meaning of public service. An immigrant from 
Cuba, Mr. Cuevas has not taken lightly the privilege it is to live in 
America. Over the years, Pablo has given back to his community by not 
only serving on the board of supervisors but also on the Broadway Town 
Council, the Broadway Planning Commission, the Rockingham County 
Planning Commission, and the James Madison University Board of 
Visitors.
  Some of his greatest accomplishments include constructing new school 
buildings and expanding industries important to the area, such as 
agriculture. His dedicated service on the board of directors at the 
Virginia Poultry Growers Cooperative was invaluable to our region.
  His passion for making his community a better place for all who live 
and visit the valley is going to be sorely missed on the board of 
supervisors. However, I am sure his wife, Elaine, and his daughter, 
Erika, will welcome the opportunity to have such a good man back home.
  Madam Speaker, I wish Pablo a happy retirement and thank him for 
sharing his wealth of knowledge and passion for community service with 
Rockingham County for the past 30 years.
