  Mr. SCALISE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Rod Taylor on 
his recent selection to the Board of Directors at the National 
Association of Federal Credit Unions, NAFCU.
   Mr. Taylor has been President and CEO of Barksdale Federal Credit 
Union in Bossier City since 2008. Barksdale FCU is the largest member-
owned credit union in Louisiana. Mr. Taylor previously served as 
Barksdale Federal Credit Union's Executive Vice President and Chief 
Operations Officer, a post he held for over sixteen years.
   Mr. Taylor served in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1973-1977 and 
received his MBA from Oregon State University before he started working 
in the financial industry with US National Bank of Oregon in 1983.
   Mr. Taylor also brings experience as a board member of other 
businesses, and he will bring a tremendous amount of expertise to the 
NAFCU Board. I wish Mr. Taylor the best of luck in his new role on the 
NAFCU Board and look forward to working with him in this capacity. I 
ask that my colleagues join me today in congratulating Rod Taylor on 
this achievement.
