“Mr. Speaker, I simply would like to add that many of us in this body would agree that Mr. Natcher's distinguished service to this Nation, and to the people of the Second Congressional District of Kentucky, merits in the very least some type of official recognition. The pending legislation reflects the wishes of the Kentucky Delegation to in some small way provide this recognition. This bill would designate a bridge on U.S. Route 231, which crosses the Ohio River in the vicinity of Owensboro, KY, as the ``William H. Natcher Bridge.'' It passed the House last Congress, but failed to make it into law. I would, as such, urge a unanimous vote in approving this bill.”
