  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Frank E. Berrish, 
who has served as CEO of Visions Federal Credit Union for 38 years. Mr. 
Berrish, who will be retiring April 30th, 2013, has overseen the 
financing of over $500 million in capital projects and has developed 
the Credit Union from $24 million in assets to $3.2 billion in assets. 
Visions Federal Credit Union has had a positive impact on businesses 
and customers in Upstate New York, much of that reputation can be 
attributed to Mr. Berrish.
  In recognition of Mr. Berrish's service to the Credit Union, he has 
been inducted into the Credit Union House Hall of Leaders on Capitol 
Hill. Mr. Berrish is only the second New Yorker to receive this 
national honor.
  I am proud to recognize Frank E. Berrish for his dedication to 
Visions Federal Credit Union and Upstate New York. It is a privilege to 
have such a successful business in my district and I am honored to have 
this opportunity to recognize Mr. Berrish today.
