                               RESOLUTION


 
 Congratulating the National Association of Farm Service Agency County 
   Office Employees (NASCOE) on its 50th anniversary and its role in 
                    support of American agriculture.

Whereas the National Association of Farm Service Agency County Office Employees 
        (NASCOE) was founded in 1959 by a group of county office employees who 
        sought to render better service to American agriculture by having a 
        national medium of exchange of ideas and information, and to facilitate 
        closer cooperation in working toward solution of mutual problems;
Whereas NASCOE has been recognized as the exclusive organization to represent 
        full-time county office employees in negotiations with management on 
        terms of employment and working conditions;
Whereas NASCOE's objective is to assure a successful implementation of Farm 
        Service Agency (FSA) programs;
Whereas NASCOE members, in addition to the implementation of farm and 
        conservation programs, carry out Federal agricultural disaster 
        assistance programs in times of need;
Whereas members of Congress representing a rural district or State recognize the 
        value of the local Farm Service Agency office to farmers and ranchers;
Whereas NASCOE continues to represent the county office employees of the new 
        FSA;
Whereas NASCOE strives to assist in obtaining FSA's objectives, cooperate with 
        common interest groups and organizations to conserve and improve our 
        Nation's natural resources, to secure equitable salaries, working 
        conditions, and retirement provisions for all county office employees, 
        and to promote professionalism;
Whereas NASCOE seeks to assure FSA programs are implemented in a timely manner 
        for farmers and ranchers in the United States; and
Whereas FSA county office employees are in place to serve farmers and ranchers 
        and administer Department of Agriculture programs at the local level: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates the National Association of Farm Service 
        Agency County Office Employees (NASCOE) on its 50th 
        anniversary;
            (2) thanks NASCOE members for their public service to rural 
        America; and
            (3) commends NASCOE members for implementing Farm Service 
        Agency programs to assure that Americans are able to satisfy 
        their food and fiber needs.
