                          HONORING DON PARRISH

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the 
storied career of Mr. Don Parrish as he celebrates his retirement as 
Senior Director of Regulatory Affairs at the American Farm Bureau 
Federation.
  Don is a champion and friend of the U.S. agriculture industry through 
and through.
  Don's legacy spans a variety of topics, but namely, he is renowned 
for his incredible work on the Clean Water Act and the waters of the 
U.S.
  Don's role as an integral leader on this topic lead to his placement 
as chair of the Waters Advisory Coalition and to be named as a ``Top 5 
Player'' on WOTUS in Politico.
  Anyone who knows Don knows his deep love for both his work and his 
family, whom he frequently brags about.
  The U.S. agriculture industry is better today because of Don's fierce 
dedication and advocacy.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Don for his partnership and for the 
outstanding work he has done to improve the livelihood of America's 
farmers and ranchers.
  I wish Don a fulfilling retirement. He has earned every bit of it.
