               HONORING THE SERVICE OF WILLIAM D. RICKETT

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, for 14 years, Bill Rickett was the man 
who kept Bucks County moving. Mr. Rickett served, since 1999, as the 
founding Executive Director for the Bucks County Transportation 
Management Association.
  Under Bill's leadership, the Bucks County TMA successfully completed 
a number of projects to improve transportation access and mobility 
throughout the area, including connecting commuters to regional rail 
service by shuttle and improvements to the Route 13 corridor in Lower 
Bucks County, as well as many others.
  Aside from his service at the TMA, Mr. Rickett worked with community 
organizations to make Bucks County a better place to live and to work, 
including serving on boards of both the Lower Bucks County Chamber of 
Commerce and the Development Advisory Board of the Bucks County 
Enterprise Zone.
  Thanks to his efforts, Bucks County continues to find new and 
innovative ways to enhance the quality of life for its residents. On 
behalf of his coworkers and a grateful county, I want to thank Mr. 
Rickett and wish him nothing but the best in his well-deserved 
retirement.
