  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge American 
Business Media, ABM, located in my congressional district, as it 
celebrates 100 years of service to business media and the American 
economy. ABM is the not-for-profit, global association for business 
information providers, including producers of magazines, Web sites and 
digital content, trade shows, newsletters, rich data, custom 
publishers, as well as conventions, conferences, seminars, trade shows. 
ABM's 300 member companies represent about $20 billion in annual 
revenues and include such respected brands as Dow Jones, Forbes.com, 
The Economist, Farm Journal, Google, PC World, plus about 5,000 
additional print and electronic titles, and 1,000 trade shows. Its 
mission is to help business information providers excel at their tasks 
and provide the best intelligence available to their readers--the 
captains of industry.
  Established in 1906, ABM has a staff of specialists in governmental 
affairs, marketing, communications, promotion, education and finance. 
More than 20 active ABM member committees regularly assess developments 
in the industry and formulate the Association's positions on key 
issues. ABM hosts prestigious editorial and creative excellence awards 
programs, and initiates events that are focused on enhancing the 
knowledge of and providing services to members and the industry. ABM 
offers a first-rate opportunity for networking and creative peer 
interchange at these meetings, and brings together thousands of the 
best minds in business information each year.
  I congratulate American Business Media on this momentous occasion and 
wish it continued success.
