  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Nancy 
Guthrie, president and owner of Capitol City Communications, in the 
Second Congressional District of West Virginia. Ms. Guthrie has 
achieved the title of Home-Based Business Advocate of the Year. The 
West Virginia District of the United States Small Business 
Administration, a leader in the promotion and growth of our state, 
gives this award annually.
  Ms. Guthrie began Capitol City Communications in 1996 at her home in 
Charleston, West Virginia, to provide public relations and advertising 
services. Capitol City Communications has since grown statewide. Ms. 
Guthrie embodies the values that created the American success story: 
self-reliance, hard work, perseverance and optimism. I commend her for 
her contributions to the West Virginia economy.
  Successful small businesses not only serve as the backbone of the 
economy, they anchor communities and promote civic pride. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in celebrating Ms. Guthrie's tremendous 
achievement as the West Virginia Small Business Administration's Home-
Based Business Advocate of the Year.
