              RECOGNIZING PENNSYLVANIA SENATOR PAT BROWNE

  (Ms. WILD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the work of, and to 
wish a happy birthday to, Allentown's outgoing State Senator Pat 
Browne.
  Over the span of his 28 years in public service, Pat Browne 
represented the Lehigh Valley in the Pennsylvania House of 
Representatives and in the Senate, ascending to chair of the Senate 
Appropriations Committee.
  While we did not agree on every issue, Senator Browne's dedication to 
Allentown's school district and the city's revitalization earned him 
popularity with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike, 
something that is altogether too rare in today's political environment. 
It has been an honor to work with his office over the past 4 years to 
bring resources to our community, and I thank him for his service and 
wish him a very happy birthday.
