  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, Mount Vernon, of Knox County, Ohio, is celebrating 200 years 
of establishment; and
  Whereas, Mount Vernon in its entirety is recognized and is commended 
for its excellence, leadership, and ongoing efforts to be an example of 
success for the rest of the state of Ohio; and
  Whereas, Mount Vernon will celebrate its founding on July 16, 1805, 
exactly 200 years ago.
  Therefore, I join with the residents of Knox County and the entire 
18th Congressional District in celebrating the Bicentennial Anniversary 
of Mount Vernon.
