         HONORING ALLEGHENY MOUNTAIN CHAPTER OF TROUT UNLIMITED

  (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, for 60 years, the mission 
of the Allegheny Mountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited has been focused 
on protecting, conserving, and restoring local cold-water resources.
  The Allegheny Mountain Chapter has been critical in ensuring 
Pennsylvanians can enjoy the Commonwealth's waterways and natural 
resources.
  For more than half a century, volunteers and community members have 
helped to tackle issues impacting the waterways. Over the years, the 
group has partnered with Penn State, the National Guard, and the 
Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to reduce 
damage on the region's waterways and the ecosystems found therein.
  While the group focuses on completing projects, the chapter has spent 
many years educating younger generations. Members of the chapter 
initiated an environmental day at the DuBois Area Middle School and 
Punxsutawney Area Elementary.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank the Allegheny Mountain Chapter of Trout 
Unlimited for their dedication to preserving our natural resources. 
Their efforts are critical in allowing us to enjoy the natural beauty 
of the Commonwealth. I congratulate them on celebrating 60 years.
