                          HONORING MATT PEDIGO

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Matt Pedigo of Allen County, 
Kentucky, who recently retired as general manager of the Citizen-Times 
newspaper in Scottsville.
  After 22 years of reporting on the community he loves, Matt decided 
to put down his pen and pursue other ventures. At a time when many 
people are distrustful of the agenda of the media, Matt has been a 
shining star over the years, accurately reporting on current events and 
happenings in Allen County.
  Through numerous interviews and conversations with Matt during my 
years in public service, I grew to appreciate his work ethic, knowledge 
of the issues, and passion for sharing the news with his community.
  While he may be retiring, I know from my interactions with Matt that 
he is not finished making positive contributions to the community of 
Allen County and south-central Kentucky. I wish him nothing but the 
best in a well-earned retirement from journalism.
