                  CELEBRATING CATA'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  (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 celebrate 
50 years of the Centre Area Transportation Authority, or CATA.
  For the last 50 years, CATA has connected the borough of State 
College and surrounding townships with reliable transportation. Whether 
you are a college student looking to run errands or a full-time 
resident relying on CATA to help you get to your job, you can count on 
the bus to get you where you need to go.
  Mr. Speaker, as State College continued to grow, so did CATA's 
services, originally starting out as Nittany Transit Company and 
growing to CATA in 1974. Today, CATA continues to develop and provide 
for residents.
  CATA remains a premier small transit system and is continually 
recognized for its growth, service, and ingenuity. I congratulate CATA 
on 50 years of dedicated service to the community.
