                       Tuesday, January 12, 2021

  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I'm honored to celebrate and 
recognize the extraordinary work of Harker Heights, TX Councilman John 
Reider. His eighteen years of dedication to his beloved city are the 
reflection of a true and devoted public servant.
  With his ``can-do'' spirit and high-minded vision, John is a trusted 
community leader. He brought his tremendous work ethic and commitment 
to excellence to every challenge he encountered. It's public servants 
like him that make Harker Heights the welcoming, successful city that 
it is.
  While John isn't tired of the privilege of public service, he knows 
that everything has its season and the time has come to allow the next 
generation of leaders to take the stage. Stepping away from his office 
won't give him much idle time as he remains a vital part of the Central 
Texas community, operating a successful property management company 
with his beloved family.
  Retirement is meant to be celebrated and enjoyed. It is not the end 
of a career, but the beginning of a new adventure. It is my honor to 
recognize the selfless service of John Reider as he starts this new 
chapter of his life. On behalf of Central Texas, I thank him for his 
superb work and wish him the very best.
