                  RECOGNIZING FIFTH CORPS AT FORT KNOX

  (Mr. GUTHRIE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Fort Knox.
  Yesterday, the U.S. Army selected Fort Knox as a new corps 
headquarters called V Corps. V Corps will bring over 600 soldiers and 
their families to Kentucky.
  I like to say that Fort Knox has the assets and the attitude for this 
new corps. The assets are the training grounds, housing, schools, and 
other resources that V Corps will be able to use when they arrive in 
the fall. The attitude is that of Fort Knox and the surrounding 
communities.
  Kentucky is a great place to be a soldier, and I know that the 
Commonwealth will welcome these soldiers and their families with open 
arms.
  I want to thank Senate Leader McConnell for his steadfast leadership 
in helping Fort Knox get selected for the new V Corps. I look forward 
to continuing to work with Fort Knox, the Department of Defense, and 
the U.S. Army.
