  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize Bioneers on 
the occasion of the organization's 25th Anniversary Summit Conference, 
which will take place in October of 2014.
  Since Kenny Asubel and Nina Simons founded Bioneers, the organization 
has become an important resource for innovators seeking to solve the 
world's most pressing environmental and social challenges. Through the 
annual conference and various educational programs, Bioneers connects 
diverse groups of people to share new, creative ideas and generate 
positive change at local, regional and international levels. Bioneers 
has provided one of the planet's primary incubators to help lay the 
foundation for sustainable and restorative alternatives to the 
environmentally destructive aspects of the modern global economy.
  Bioneers has been a vital tool for the people of California's Second 
Congressional District and beyond, and I am confident that the 
organization will continue to serve as a leading-edge think tank for 
many years to come. Please join me in congratulating Bioneers on their 
25th anniversary celebration and wish them many more successful years.

                          ____________________
