                        Friday, December 8, 2006

  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay public 
tribute to Lloyd C. Hillard,

[[Page 23832]]

Jr., an exemplary community leader, businessman and citizen from my 
congressional district. Lloyd received this year's Hardin County 
Distinguished Citizen Award from the Boy Scouts of America during 
ceremonies earlier this month.
  A native of Kentucky, Lloyd grew up on a farm in Pine Grove and 
earned college degrees from the University of Kentucky and the 
University of Wisconsin. Lloyd has distinguished himself as a business 
leader, serving as President and CEO of First Citizens Bank, and a good 
neighbor, through his active involvement in many community and 
charitable organizations.
  Though never a scout himself, Lloyd's lifelong example of honesty and 
devotion to his family and community parallel ideals championed by the 
Boy Scouts. He first became involved with the Scouts as a young adult, 
running a school recruitment program.
  Lloyd has been an especially active member of our community, having 
served as past president and director of the Bluegrass Council Boy 
Scouts of America, past chairman of the North Central Kentucky 
Education Foundation, and former treasurer and director of the Cavalry 
Armor Foundation.
  Lloyd was also past chairman of the Hardin County Community 
Foundation, Helping Hand of the Heartland, and the Hardin County Fund 
for the Arts. He remains an active member of the local United Way and 
the Elizabethtown Rotary Club.
  It is my great privilege to recognize Lloyd C. Hillard, Jr. today, 
before the entire U.S. House of Representatives, for his example of 
leadership and service. His unique achievements make him an outstanding 
American worthy of our collective honor and respect.
