                      GEORGE CANON AND FRED MONROE

  (Ms. STEFANIK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor two giants of our 
Adirondack community. George Canon and Fred Monroe have led 
distinguished careers fighting to protect their constituents over the 
past quarter century. I had the honor of celebrating their public 
service at a meeting of the Adirondack Association of Towns and 
Villages just this past weekend, a critical organization to our region 
that they helped create.
  Fred Monroe has been the supervisor of the town of Chester since 
1992, overseeing a cultural, commercial, and environmental 
revitalization of the town and being one of our foremost leaders on the 
issue of combating invasive species.
  George Canon has been serving the town of Newcomb as supervisor for 
13 terms, working to preserve the town's history and architectural 
treasures, including the Santanoni Great Camp.
  Mr. Speaker, these two men are true godfathers of the Adirondacks, 
and it is my pleasure to honor them and celebrate their distinguished 
careers today.
