  Recognizing the 100th anniversary of the founding of the California 
 League of Food Processors and congratulating the members and officers 
   of the California League of Food Processors for its achievements.

Whereas the California League of Food Processors was founded January 12, 1905, 
        in San Francisco, California, as the Canners League of California to 
        represent canners of California fruits and vegetables;
Whereas in 1981 the Canners League of California changed its name to the 
        California League of Food Processors to reflect the diversity of the 
        California food processing industry, which includes canners, freezers, 
        dryers, and dehydrators;
Whereas the purpose of the California League of Food Processors is to foster a 
        favorable environment for the growth and strength of the industry and, 
        in so doing, California food processors strive to provide consumers with 
        safe and wholesome foods produced in an environmentally sound and 
        responsible manner;
Whereas the California League of Food Processors has a distinguished history of 
        providing consumers in California, the United States, and the world with 
        processed fruits and vegetables of the highest quality;
Whereas the California League of Food Processors has been honored to supply 
        processed fruits and vegetables to the men and women serving in the 
        Armed Forces of the United States;
Whereas the California League of Food Processors has been at the forefront of 
        technological innovations that have facilitated important advances in 
        fruit and vegetable varieties, harvesting automation, processing 
        mechanization, food packaging, and distribution systems;
Whereas the California League of Food Processors has been an advocate for the 
        California fruit and vegetable processing industry on international 
        trade and other matters for the last 100 years; and
Whereas efforts and achievements of the California League of Food Processors are 
        deserving of our attention and recognition: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the 100th anniversary of the founding of the 
        California League of Food Processors and acknowledges the 
        efforts of the California League of Food Processors to provide

        people of California, the United States, and the world;
            (2) congratulates the members and officers of the
