       HONORING BILL JENNINGS, GUARDIAN OF THE SAN JOAQUIN DELTA

  (Mr. McNERNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McNERNEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the work of one of 
my constituents, Bill Jennings. Mr. Jennings has a long and storied 
resume. Currently, he is the executive director and chairman of the 
California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, a board member of the 
California Water Impact Network, and an executive committee member of 
Restore the Delta, a group that educates the public about the 
importance of the San Joaquin Delta.
  Mr. Jennings has been recognized numerous times for his work on 
behalf of our environment and has received many awards, including the 
International Conservation Award from the Federation of Fly Fishers and 
the Director's Achievement Award from the California Department of Fish 
and Game.
  Mr. Jennings is an outspoken guardian of the San Joaquin Delta, and I 
admire his tireless dedication to protecting water quality in our 
environment. Bill Jennings reminds us of the importance of taking 
action to safeguard our treasured natural resources for generations to 
come.
  It's been an honor to know Mr. Jennings, and it's encouraging to know 
that people like Mr. Jennings are out there working on our behalf.
