  Mr. SHUSTER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I 
acknowledge the efforts of the Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society as 
they approach their 50th anniversary.
  The Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society's mission of promoting 
interest and active participation in the preservation and restoration 
of the remaining historical covered bridges in the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania serves to ensure that important aspects of our community's 
rich history remain intact. In doing so future generations will be 
afforded the opportunity to see first hand the beauty and efficiency 
that is associated with early Pennsylvania architecture.
  Named after Theodore Burr, the early American engineer, the Theodore 
Burr Covered Bridge Society's efforts honor the life and works of Mr. 
Burr, while simultaneously bettering our community as a whole. For this 
I congratulate them on their 50th anniversary.
