  RECOGNIZING ERIC BERGREN'S 27 YEARS OF SERVICE TO KENTUCKY'S SECOND 
                                DISTRICT

  (Mr. GUTHRIE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Eric Bergren's 
27 years of service to Kentucky's Second District.
  Eric, a graduate of UMass, started working for Kentucky's Second 
District in 1994. Eric worked his way up from an intern to become the 
chief of staff under Congressman Lewis, my predecessor. During that 
time, Eric met his wife, Kathy Reding, a native of Howardstown, 
Kentucky, in the Second District. Eric and Kathy are now proud parents 
of Cecelia and Julia.
  Eric has been at my side since 2009 when I was sworn in. I believe I 
have had the best chief, and others have affirmed that. On a personal 
note, we have both watched our kids grow up and shared with each other 
the joys of being a father.
  Madam Speaker, I am losing a chief but I am not losing a great 
friend. Thanks for everything, Eric, and I wish you the best for your 
next chapter.
