  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Henderson, 
Nevada, Chamber of Commerce. The Henderson Nevada Chamber of Commerce 
has been serving the Henderson community as a private, non-profit 
voluntary organization since 1945. They are committed to the civic, 
commercial and industrial growth and development of Henderson. Much of 
the area's economic success is a direct result of the hard work and 
dedication of the Chamber.
  The members of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce divided themselves 
into issue committees in order to prepare according to their 
predominant interests. The following are the committees and those who 
are leading those committees: Kristine Shattuck--Transportation; D.J. 
Allen and Francine Mayfield--Education; Scot Muelrath and Bob Unger--
Water; David Chavez--Taxes; Ben Brown; and John Holman--Bureau of Land 
Management; Charles Perry--Homeland Security; Arnold Lopez and Rick 
Smith--Yucca Mountain; David Dahan--Health Care; and Laird Sanders--
Small Business Administration. In addition, Karen Marshall, Alice 
Martz, Diane Holman, Gayle Rogers, and Richard are contributing to the 
weeklong event.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor The Henderson Chamber of Commerce. 
I would like to personally thank all of those participating for taking 
time out of their busy schedules to meet with Members of Congress as 
well as members of the Administration for the Inaugural Henderson on 
the Hill.
