           RECOGNIZING FFA NATIONAL PRESIDENT COLE BAERLOCHER

  (Mrs. RODGERS of Washington asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. RODGERS of Washington. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
one of Eastern Washington's finest young men, Cole Baerlocher.
  Cole is a student at Washington State University, and he recently was 
elected to serve as the next national president of the Future Farmers 
of America.
  For Cole, his family, and our entire community, this is a huge deal. 
Cole is from Colfax, the county seat of Whitman County, the top wheat-
producing county in America.
  Having him serve as the face of this organization is a tremendous 
honor. The FFA has more than 735,000 members; 37 candidates were 
considered for the honor of serving as president. Only one was selected 
to lead, and that person was Cole.
  Cole, I know I speak for our entire community when I say 
congratulations on this incredible achievement. We could not be more 
proud. Go Cougs!
