  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor and admiration 
that I offer my congratulations to many of Northwest Indiana's most 
talented, dedicated, and hardworking individuals. On Friday, July 29, 
2005, the Lake County Electricians Joint Apprenticeship and Training 
Committee IBEW & NECA will honor the Completion Class of 2005 at the 
50th Annual Apprentice Completion Banquet, which will be held at the 
Avalon Manor Banquet Hall in Hobart, IN.
  They will be recognizing and honoring the 2005 apprentice graduates. 
Those individuals who have completed the apprentice training are: 
Joseph Anderson, Randall Bard, Jacques Berbesque, Robert Brannon, 
Feliciano Bucio, Jonathan Buczek, Christopher Buitron, Jeff Campbell, 
Larry Chandler, Eric Cisneros, Keenan Collier, Cameron Collins, Steve 
Cruise, Lester Daniel, Brian Derolf, J. Matt Dees, Todd Dodd, Lou 
Donaldson, Phil Dorin, Jeremy Drenth, Ryan Ferry, H. Tom Floyd, 
Julianne Guidotti, Tom Guined, Eddie Jackson, David McCarty, Scott 
Morgan, Steve Petri, Nate Plants, Derek Popovich, Timothy Ramsey, Ryan 
Rentschler, R. Chad Robinson, Nick Roper, Nick Santostefano, Robert 
Severa, Aaron Shelton, Ivan Simmons, Tom Stidham, and Jonathan Vicari.
  Northwest Indiana has a rich history of excellence in its 
craftsmanship and loyalty by its tradesmen. These graduates are all 
outstanding examples of each. They have mastered their trade and have 
demonstrated their loyalty to both the union and the community through 
their hard work and self-sacrifice.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in congratulating these hardworking individuals. Along with all 
the other men and women of Northwest Indiana's unions, these 
individuals have contributed to the growth and development of the 
economy of the First Congressional District, and I am very proud to 
honor them in Washington, DC.
