                           NATIONAL FFA WEEK

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, I proudly rise before you today in honor of 
National FFA Week.
  As an eighth-generation farmer and former member of the Future 
Farmers of America myself, I have seen firsthand the positive 
difference that FFA makes in the lives of students by developing their 
potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success 
throughout agricultural education.
  FFA members know that American agriculture truly is one of the best 
traditions of our national life and that service to one's community is 
a pillar of good leadership and citizenship.
  I am confident that the future of our Nation's agriculture is in good 
hands because it is being shaped by members of the National FFA 
Organization.
  I wish a happy FFA Week to the 28,000 members in my home State of 
Tennessee and to the 760,000 members across the country.
