       Some 25 years ago, I asked the people of Ohio's Eighth 
     District to send me to Washington on a mission to help build 
     a smaller, less costly, and more accountable government. 
     First and foremost, that has meant helping constituents and 
     local officials cut through gridlock and navigate the 
     bureaucratic maze to get things done. In Hamilton, we brought 
     together the Army Corps of Engineers and local officials to 
     get the Meldahl Lock and Dam power plant off the ground. In 
     Butler County, we worked with officials at all levels to keep 
     the veterans highway and Union Centre Blvd. projects on 
     track. We made sure that Wright Patterson Air Force Base and 
     the Springfield Air National Guard Base had the resources 
     they need to support our men and women in uniform. And not to 
     mention the tens of thousands of constituents we helped 
     through casework, letters, phone calls, my open door program, 
     and of course, Farm Forum. None of this would have been 
     possible without the hard work of my staff, which has been 
     first-rate from start to finish. Together, we did the right 
     things for the right reasons and good things happened.
       It has been an honor to serve.
           Sincerely,
     John A. Boehner.
