                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 26, 2006

  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the 
staff of the Prestonsburg Social Security Office for their strong, 
effective, and compassionate service to the people of Kentucky.
  Social Security plays an important role in the lives of more 
Americans than any other federal program. Whether providing a Social 
Security number for a newborn baby, mailing a check to a retired 
worker, or helping a disabled individual receive benefits, the Social 
Security Administration touches the lives of just about everyone.
  The field office in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, is a shining example for 
this massive federal agency. The Prestonsburg staff consistently goes 
beyond the call of duty to provide valuable benefits to the people of 
Kentucky. Because of this unwavering commitment to helping others, the 
Social Security Administration recognized the Prestonsburg Office as 
the Best Level I Field Office in the Atlanta Region for fiscal year 
2005.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my colleagues and myself, I want to thank 
the staff at the Prestonsburg Social Security Office for their hard 
work and dedication to serving the people of Kentucky. These fine 
Americans are an inspiration to us all, and I salute them for their 
commitment to helping others.
