                RECOGNIZING AMY BREWER ON HER RETIREMENT

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Madam Speaker, I rise this evening to recognize and thank 
for her 32 years of public service, Lebanon, Ohio's, retiring mayor, 
Amy Brewer.
  I had the pleasure of working with Amy on issues both large and small 
for 10 years now since Lebanon became part of my congressional 
district.
  Mayor Brewer has been a tireless advocate for all things Lebanon 
since she was first elected to city council there in 1989. After 
serving on council for 12 years, she was elected mayor and has served 
in that capacity for the last 20 years.

  Anyone who knows Amy knows that she is a bundle of energy and that 
she puts that enthusiasm to work for the people of, in my opinion, one 
of the most picturesque, welcoming, and family-oriented communities not 
only in Ohio, but in America.
  Although saddened by Amy's retirement, the citizens of Lebanon have 
benefited in so many ways from her leadership, from the overall quality 
of life to improvements in the downtown landscape.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Mayor Brewer for sharing the last 32 years of 
her remarkable life with the good people of Lebanon, Ohio.
