                   RECOGNIZING SMITH REYNOLDS AIRPORT

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, Smith Reynolds Airport, 
located in North Carolina's Fifth District, is set to be designated as 
North Carolina's first legacy airport.
  Originally named Miller Municipal Field in 1927, the airport was soon 
renamed in 1942 after the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation made a donation 
to the airport.
  Madam Speaker, since its inception, the airport has served as an Army 
Corps facility and was the birthplace for Piedmont Airlines, the legacy 
carrier that merged with US Airways.
  Madam Speaker, with this designation on the horizon, I am confident 
that the airport will continue to be a vital component of the community 
and that North Carolina's aviation sector will continue to grow and 
contribute to our State's vibrant economy.
