                      CONGRATULATING KENNETH KANE

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Kenneth Kane of Pennsylvania's Fifth Congressional 
District, who will be honored at a banquet tomorrow night in State 
College, Pennsylvania, as an outstanding alumnus of the Penn State 
University School of Forest Resources.
  I have long been impressed by Ken's broad knowledge on forestry 
policy and

regarding our Commonwealth's forests. Kenneth served in a variety of 
positions for forestry organizations, including as chairman of the 
Allegheny Society of American Foresters, chairman of the Penn Chapter 
Association of Consulting Foresters, northeast regional director of the 
Association of Consulting Foresters of America, and as an adviser to 
various State-level planning committees, including the Pennsylvania 
Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Joint Legislative Task Force. When 
I am looking to draw on expertise regarding Pennsylvania's forests, 
including the Allegheny National Forest, Ken Kane is one of the first 
people I turn to.
  In addition to that, I am proud to call him my friend. I congratulate 
him on this honor, and I look forward to his future work on forestry 
policy.
