               RECOGNIZING HAL B. GOODE ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my good friend, Mr. 
Hal B. Goode of Washington County, on his well-deserved retirement as 
the executive director of the Central Kentucky Community Action 
Council.
  Hal will be retiring after an extraordinary 6\1/2\ years of 
incredible leadership, where he has expanded vital community service 
outreach across multiple Kentucky counties, including many in the First 
Congressional District of Kentucky.
  Under his direction, Hal has spearheaded numerous achievements, 
including opening two new Head Start facilities in my district, in 
Springfield and Lebanon.
  The success of the Central Kentucky Community Action Council is a 
testament to Hal's belief that their service to those in need is a hand 
up, not a handout.
  His ability to develop relationships with local communities has laid 
a strong foundation for the CKCAC's future progress.
  I thank Hal for his dedication to central Kentucky and wish him 
nothing but the best in a well-deserved retirement.
