                         Tuesday, July 22, 2003

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the Detroit 
Regional Chamber of Commerce on its 100th Anniversary which it 
celebrated last week. It is a pleasure and a privilege to commemorate 
this milestone and celebrate everyone who has contributed to the 
Chamber's success.
  Remaining true to the original slogan ``For the general good of 
Detroit,'' the organization's 253 charter members and numerous 
successors have been a cornerstone of the Detroit area's commercial, 
industrial and municipal advancement for the past 100 years.
  Truly, they are rightly proud of their past accomplishments in and 
future commitment to our community.
  It has been an honor to be associated with its members and all their 
endeavors.
