                  RECOGNIZING PENNSYLVANIA 4-H MEMBERS

  (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 today to recognize 
the Pennsylvania 4-H members who received the Diamond Clover Award at 
the recent 4-H State Leadership Conference.
  4-H is a youth development program under the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture. The program's main goal is to educate our Nation's youth 
on pivotal skills and responsibilities to develop them into outstanding 
citizens.
  As chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, I am enlightened to 
see the work of USDA's programs paving the way for youth.
  In total, there were 24 Diamond Clover Award winners from 13 counties 
across Pennsylvania. I am especially proud to say that out of those 13 
counties, 3 of them are from my district, Pennsylvania 15.
  Special congratulations to Hannah Trigg from Centre County, Phaedra 
Bower from Clinton County, and Crystal Clark from Potter Country.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate all of them on their hard work and this 
recognition. I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.
