                CONGRATULATING VINCENT ``ZIPPY'' DUVALL

  (Mr. JODY B. HICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JODY B. HICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate my friend Vincent ``Zippy'' Duvall on his election 
yesterday as president of the American Farm Bureau Federation.
  Zippy is a third-generation farmer from Greene County, Georgia, and 
has been a Farm Bureau member since 1977. For the past 9 years, he has 
served as president of the Georgia Farm Bureau, while producing 
poultry, cattle, and hay on his family farm.
  I am so proud to have Zippy and his wife, Bonnie, as constituents of 
the Tenth District of Georgia. He has done an extraordinary job serving 
as the voice of agriculture in Georgia, and I can think of no better 
leader than Zippy Duvall to serve as the new president of the American 
Farm Bureau.
