                   RECOGNIZING ALLYN LAMB OF AGCHOICE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Allyn Lamb, the president and CEO of AgChoice, who will retire at the 
end of the year after decades of service to the agriculture community.
  AgChoice is an agriculture credit association that provides a broad 
range of financial services to farmers and foresters all across 
Pennsylvania. Under Allyn's leadership, AgChoice has become a leading 
institution supporting the credit needs of farmers, as well as the 
mortgage credit needs of rural homeowners, for communities across the 
Fifth District of Pennsylvania and throughout the greater Commonwealth 
of Pennsylvania. Even under a tough economy, AgChoice has consistently 
stayed financially sound while offering outstanding service and support 
to our agriculture communities.
  With 32 years of service in the Farm Credit System, Allyn has spent 
his professional career as a champion for agriculture and the 
individual farmer. We owe him a great deal of thanks for his tireless 
work and his committed leadership.
  I want to thank you for your service, Allyn, and wish you well in 
your retirement.
