  Mr. TALENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the St. Louis 
Small Business Monthly. this month, the St. Louis Small Business 
Monthly celebrates its tenth anniversary.
  Mr. Speaker, the St. Louis Small Business Monthly is more than just a 
newspaper. It is a valuable networking tool, resource center, and 
clearinghouse for all things small business. It's a resource by and for 
the small business owner; it is invaluable to this important community.
  Small businesses are not just the engine of our economy, they are the 
backbones of our communities. The St. Louis Small Business Monthly was 
founded to support the spirit of entrepreneur and recognizes the 
vitality and importance of the growth and success of this community. It 
fills a need in the community and fills it well.
  Mr. Speaker, I'd like you to join me in congratulating editor Judy 
Meador, co-founders Katie Muchnick and Bill Schneider, and the rest of 
the staff at the St. Louis Small Business Monthly for a terrific first 
ten years and to its long and prosperous future.
