                       REMEMBERING JAMES R. CASH

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, as a young farmer, I knew of James R. Cash at 
an early age. He was a legend in the agriculture community and a 
household name in west Kentucky. His farm auctions were always the 
highest grossing sales anywhere and regularly attended by farmers from 
six States.
  As an aspiring politician, James R., Cindy, and Caroline took me in 
and were instrumental in the development of my organization in west 
Kentucky. James R. always put my campaign signs up all over my very 
large Congressional district--especially en route to Fancy Farm. He 
hosted events, donated money, offered advice, and always allowed me to 
stay in his guest house.
  James R. Cash was extremely successful in business and life. His 
great legacy will live on in his three children. I am extremely pleased 
to work in Washington with Caroline, who definitely inherited her 
father's intelligence, patience, and management skills. West Kentucky 
has lost a great entrepreneur, father, husband, and role model.
  James R. Cash will be deeply missed by everyone who ever knew him.
