                 CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF BLAKE LOVETTE

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, Blake Lovette, a 
true giant not only in the North Carolina agriculture community, but in 
the civic community, passed away unexpectedly.
  Blake was a good friend, and to say he made a profound impact on the 
Wilkes County community would be an understatement.
  From his time on the Wilkes Board of Education to his role as the 
president of ConAgra Poultry, Blake was never satisfied with the status 
quo and believed that complacency was never an option. As chairman of 
the Wilkes County Republican Party, Blake exercised a level of 
diligence and grace that was second to none.
  To Blake's family, I pray that God will continue to bless you and 
give you comfort during this difficult time.
