                      Thursday, September 14, 2023

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
contributions and tireless dedication of Mr. Bob Knapp, a distinguished 
individual, devoted advocate, and community leader in Colorado.
  Mr. Knapp has exemplified exceptional commitment to his community and 
has been an integral part of various organizations dedicated to 
improving the lives of retired Americans, advancing the cause of 
democracy, and promoting the rights of American workers.
  Mr. Knapp's contributions include co-founding the Colorado Chapter of 
the Alliance for Retired Americans. For 2 decades, he served as its 
Secretary, working to ensure the needs and concerns of retired 
Americans were addressed and advocating for policies that enhanced 
their quality of life.
  Perhaps one of Mr. Knapp's most remarkable achievements is his 
service on the AFL-CIO Executive Board for over 30 years. His long-
standing commitment to the AFL-CIO has been marked by strong leadership 
and dedication to American workers.
  Throughout the past 20 years, Mr. Knapp has provided strong 
leadership, demonstrating an ability to keep everyone on track and 
focused on achieving their goals. His dedication and his tireless 
efforts on behalf of the community are an inspiration to us all.
  In recognition of his outstanding service and important 
contributions, I extend a heartfelt thank you and congratulations to 
Bob Knapp on behalf of Colorado's 7th Congressional District. His 
legacy will inspire generations to come.
