            RECOGNIZING CITIES FOR TREE CITY USA DESIGNATION

  (Mr. TAYLOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAYLOR. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize eight cities in 
Texas' Third Congressional District that have received this year's Tree 
City USA designation by the Arbor Day Foundation.
  Allen, Fairview, Frisco, McKinney, Murphy, Plano, Prosper, and Wylie, 
all located in Collin County, have proven they care about ensuring the 
environment around them is thriving and full of life.
  These Collin County cities understand that trees serve an integral 
purpose in our community, including improved health, clean air and 
water, and a positive impact on business and homes in the area. Not 
only are these communities dedicated to providing necessary municipal 
tree care, but they are encouraging their residents to do the same.
  I commend these cities for their investments in green infrastructure 
and for creating a lasting, positive impact for generations to come.
  I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating these eight communities on their efforts to maintain 
healthy and green environments and neighborhoods.
