                       Wednesday, January 3, 2024

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Nora Rikel of Paducah, 
Kentucky, for her retirement from Greater Paducah Economic Development 
after 34 years of service.
  Nora Rikel first began working with Greater Paducah Economic 
Development in 1989, assisting in the recruitment of Atomic Vapor Laser 
Isotope Separation project (AVLIS). Serving as the CFO, Nora provided 
endless institutional knowledge of local government and steadfast 
commitment to her community that made her invaluable.
  As a veteran of Paducah-McCracken economic development, Nora's 
leadership and contributions will be missed deeply. I commend her for 
an outstanding career. I join with the community of Paducah in 
celebrating the service and dedication of Nora Rikel. I want to thank 
Nora for being an extraordinary leader to her community and the 1st 
Congressional District of Kentucky.
