                     IN RECOGNITION OF BILL DUNLAP

  (Mr. STIVERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STIVERS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding 
constituent of the 15th Congressional District, Mr. Bill Dunlap, as he 
retires from his role as deputy director of the Athens-Hocking-Vinton 
317 Board.
  Madam Speaker, it is not news that we are facing a drug epidemic in 
this country. Families from Ohio to Oregon are torn apart by addiction, 
and we can't hope to overcome this crisis without outstanding 
individuals on the ground in each of those communities, without people 
who are compassionate and dedicated to their neighbors, without people 
like Bill Dunlap.
  I have had a chance to see Mr. Dunlap's work firsthand over the 
years. We have collaborated on drug task forces, and other community 
initiatives, and I can't say enough about his dedication and commitment 
to combating the drug crisis.
  I can say without a doubt, Athens, Hocking and Vinton Counties--and 
truly, all of southeastern Ohio--are better and healthier places as a 
result of his efforts.
  Madam Speaker, I am incredibly grateful for Bill's service and his 
leadership. I wish him the best in his next chapter.
