            CONGRATULATING KIRKLEY THOMAS ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, I rise to wish a happy retirement to Kirkley 
Thomas, the vice president of government affairs for Arkansas Electric 
Cooperatives, Inc.
  Early in his career, Kirkley served as a professional staff member in 
the United States Senate and subsequently worked for the Arkansas 
Economic Development Commission. Mr. Thomas accepted his leadership 
post at Arkansas Electric Cooperatives and served for 8\1/2\ years.
  His service to our State and his contributions to the important 
progress in building badly needed infrastructure for power and 
broadband services is deeply appreciated. Our families have benefited 
by his leadership.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Kirkley Thomas for his years of service, and I 
wish him a very happy retirement.
