  Mr. RUSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the achievements of the 
United Minority Media Association as it celebrates its 20th 
anniversary.
  The UMMA has been a leader in calling for increased minority 
participation and ownership in the telecommunications, print, 
broadcast, advertising, and public relations industries. For over 20 
years, through many and varied programs such as professional skill 
enhancement and recruitment opportunities, UMMA has worked tirelessly 
to bring about changes that benefit black Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to salute and honor the kind of commitment 
and dedication shown by the UMMA.
