   CONGRATULATING J.R. UNITED INDUSTRIES AND COMPANY PRESIDENT SALO 
                                GROSFELD

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate J.R. 
United Industries and company president Salo Grosfeld for their 
involvement in an extraordinary back-to-school project.
  Afghan Minister for Women's Affairs, Dr. Sima Samar, asked for help 
to send girls back to school in Afghanistan, for, you see, school 
uniforms are considered a luxury that few Afghan families can afford. 
But J.R. United, located in my congressional district, helped by 
providing sewing machines and fabrics through their commercial partners 
in Pakistan.
  Salo Grosfeld and his company are giving children thousands of miles 
away something greater than just uniforms. They are giving them hope 
for a brighter future and a better life.
  Please join me in congratulating Salo Grosfeld and J.R. United for 
their generosity to the children of Afghanistan. Thank you, Salo.
