              CONGRATULATING TIM ROGERS ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Mr. MANN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MANN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor a fellow 
Kansan, a great neighbor, a public servant, and an even better friend.
  Since 1985, Tim Rogers has served as executive director of the Salina 
Airport Authority. For almost 40 years, he has been at the helm of 
bringing the Salina Airport Authority's mission to life--to become a 
trusted leader, to propel economic growth, and to strengthen 
partnerships. Under his leadership, the Salina Regional Airport has 
become well known as America's fuel stop and as one of the leading 
forward operating locations for military and research missions in the 
U.S.
  For those of us who live in Kansas, we have seen the Salina Regional 
Airport grow into the thriving airport and airport industrial center 
that it is today. That is no easy task, but Tim has led the charge to 
make it happen.
  On behalf of all of us who live in Salina, I thank Tim. We are deeply 
grateful for his service, and our community is stronger because of his 
hard work and leadership. I wish him well in retirement.
