                         Thursday, May 1, 2003

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Sam 
Calagione, President of Dogfish Head Brewery and winner of the Delaware 
Small Business Person of the Year Award.
  Throughout my years in public service I have consistently counted 
Delaware's small businesses amongst the very best in the country. Mr. 
Calagione's recognition further confirms my belief.
  As you know, small businesses have always been extremely important to 
the economic vitality of each State and to our national economy. Small 
businesses account for the majority of all new jobs being created 
daily, and provide opportunities for millions of people to earn a 
living and provide financial stability for their families. Through his 
work, Sam has distinguished himself as an outstanding leader in the 
small business community.
  Sam Calagione's accomplishments and entrepreneurial skills have 
placed Dogfish Head Brewery in a position to rise above and meet the 
challenges of the future; I commend him on his receipt of this award 
and I look forward to Mr. Calagione's continued success.
