            IN RECOGNITION OF THE HON. E. G. ``BUD'' SHUSTER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 20, 2022

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Congressman Bud Shuster, who represented the people of central 
Pennsylvania for over 30 years and wish him a happy 90th birthday.
  Throughout his career, Bud Shuster worked tirelessly to serve his 
constituents. As Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure, he built broad coalitions of support that tackled some 
of our nation's greatest challenges and worked to improve virtually 
every aspect of the nation's infrastructure including our roads, 
bridges, airports, ports, and waterways. Congressman Shuster was also a 
driving force in the construction of Interstate 99, a vital route that 
connected Altoona, Bedford, and State College to the rest of our 
Commonwealth and beyond.
  His work in Congress as the top Republican on the House Select 
Intelligence Committee was key in the creation of the CIA's 
Counternarcotics Center and in passing legislation that specially 
equipped intelligence planes to locate Central American drug cartels, 
which attempted to bring deadly drugs into our communities.
  His work in the halls of Congress undoubtedly made our nation 
stronger, safer, and more prosperous.
  As his 90th birthday approaches, Bud Shuster's example should 
continue to inspire every member in this body to work to serve their 
constituents. On behalf of the people of the 13th Congressional 
District, I wish Congressman Bud Shuster a happy birthday and many more 
happy and healthy years to come.
