Congratulating Tim Rogers on His Retirement

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MANN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor a fellow Kansan, a great neighbor, a public servant, and an even better friend.

Since 1985, Tim Rogers has served as executive director of the Salina Airport Authority. For almost 40 years, he has been at the helm of bringing the Salina Airport Authority's mission to life--to become a trusted leader, to propel economic growth, and to strengthen partnerships. Under his leadership, the Salina Regional Airport has become well known as America's fuel stop and as one of the leading forward operating locations for military and research missions in the U.S.

For those of us who live in Kansas, we have seen the Salina Regional Airport grow into the thriving airport and airport industrial center that it is today. That is no easy task, but Tim has led the charge to make it happen.

On behalf of all of us who live in Salina, I thank Tim. We are deeply grateful for his service, and our community is stronger because of his hard work and leadership. I wish him well in retirement.
