HONORING DON PARRISH
(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. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the storied career of Mr. Don Parrish as he celebrates his retirement as Senior Director of Regulatory Affairs at the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Don is a champion and friend of the U.S. agriculture industry through and through.
Don's legacy spans a variety of topics, but namely, he is renowned for his incredible work on the Clean Water Act and the waters of the U.S.
Don's role as an integral leader on this topic lead to his placement as chair of the Waters Advisory Coalition and to be named as a ``Top 5 Player'' on WOTUS in Politico.
Anyone who knows Don knows his deep love for both his work and his family, whom he frequently brags about.
The U.S. agriculture industry is better today because of Don's fierce dedication and advocacy.
Madam Speaker, I thank Don for his partnership and for the outstanding work he has done to improve the livelihood of America's farmers and ranchers.
I wish Don a fulfilling retirement. He has earned every bit of it.
