             HONORING THE SIMPSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Simpson County 
Historical Society and its long-reaching influence on Simpson County 
and the surrounding communities.
  Since its founding in 1959, Simpson County Historical Society has 
been a valuable asset to the First District of Kentucky. Through the 
collection and preservation of historical property and genealogical 
records, the society has been able to maintain an extensive archive for 
the benefit of future generations.
  I applaud the work the society has done over the last 60 years, and I 
am pleased to say that, as of Thursday, September 12, they will have 
expanded to a newer, larger facility enabling them to increase their 
research capabilities and broaden their effect on local education and 
cultural development.
  I join with the residents of Simpson County and the local community, 
as well as those who have benefited from the work of the Simpson County 
Historical Society, in honoring their incredible dedication to the 
preservation and promotion of history. I wish the historical society 
the best as they begin a new phase of their own history and express my 
gratitude for their service to the First District of Kentucky.
