               CELEBRATING PAY IT FORWARD DAY IN KENTUCKY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HAROLD ROGERS

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 2016

  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of 
Pay It Forward Day in Kentucky, as declared by Governor Matt Bevin to 
be recognized on April 28, 2016. I commend community, state and 
national leaders alike for promoting the spirit of goodwill and 
neighborly kindness through this nationwide effort.
  Whereas, the aim of the Pay It Forward concept is to promote 
community spirit through acts of kindness;
  Whereas, Pay It Forward Day is a worldwide effort being supported by 
people in more than 70 countries on six continents;
  Whereas, Pay It Forward Day encourages people to do good deeds for 
others without asking for anything in return except for the recipients 
to pay it forward to others in need; and
  Whereas, together we can make a difference by creating positive 
change in our community and world--one good deed at a time.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage the Kentucky delegation, along with my 
colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to continue personal 
efforts to ``Pay It Forward'' with simple acts of kindness in their own 
congressional districts across the country.
