                       RECOGNIZING DAVE WILLIAMS

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize an 
individual who serves as a voice for Pennsylvania agriculture.
  Dave Williams of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, has been a key voice in 
agriculture for more than 20 years. A farmer himself, Mr. Williams 
never expected to air on nearly 30 radio stations, three networks, and 
weekly on PCN-TV.
  This weekend, Dave will kick off his 25th year broadcasting from the 
Pennsylvania Farm Show, the largest indoor agricultural expo in the 
country.

  Dave got his start on Wayne County's oldest AM station reaching just 
10,000 listeners. Today, he reaches nearly 6 million people a week on 
both radio and television.
  Mr. Speaker, Dave continues to be an important voice for 
Pennsylvania's number one industry and uses his platform to advocate 
for agriculture. His role allows him to highlight the important work of 
our farmers, ranchers, and producers who supply this Nation and the 
world with our food and our fiber.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Dave for being the voice of Pennsylvania 
agriculture.
