                        HONORING SCOTT HORSFALL

  (Mr. PANETTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PANETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the decades of 
service of my good friend, Scott Horsfall.
  Scott is retiring this month after decades of serving our 
agricultural community on the central coast of California. Scott's 
career has been spent serving farmers and farmworkers through his work 
at California Grown, at the California Kiwifruit Commission, at the 
California Table Grape Commission, and where I got to know him, at the 
Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement, where he was the first CEO.
  With Scott at the helm for over the past 13 years, leafy green 
producers in California have operated under one set of science-based 
food safety standards. Over 6,200 government audits have been 
conducted, and more than 7 billion servings of lettuce and leafy greens 
have been grown and enjoyed by American consumers.
  But it is not just about his accolades and accomplishments. It is 
about the relationships he has fostered and the work he has done to 
build strong relationships on the central coast and throughout our 
country.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Scott for his work, his commitment, his 
dedication for our food safety, for our agriculture, and for our 
Nation's food security.
