              HONORING THE SERVICE OF JUDGE JEFF BURDETTE

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize my very good 
friend, Judge Jeff Burdette, from Mt. Vernon, Kentucky, in Rockcastle 
County, upon his retirement as circuit court judge after 30 years of 
distinguished service to the good people of the Commonwealth of 
Kentucky.
  Judge Burdette's circuit court district comprised Rockcastle, 
Lincoln, and Pulaski Counties.
  Judge Burdette was considered a constitutional scholar who was 
respected by everyone, not just on the bench and in the legal 
community, but everyone in the community in southern Kentucky.
  He was instrumental in launching the 28th Circuit Adult Drug Court 
and the rocket docket.
  Judge Burdette has been someone I have always looked up to, and I 
wish him the very best in his retirement. I thank him on behalf of the 
United States House of Representatives for his service to the good 
people of Kentucky.
