                       Monday, September 29, 2008

  Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Davenport One, the chamber of commerce and economic development 
consortium that represents businesses in Davenport, Iowa.
  Earlier this year Davenport One received the American Chamber of 
Commerce Executives ``Chamber of the Year'' award for their community 
leadership, organizational strength, and positive impact on key 
community priorities.
  Davenport One's leadership has been critical to job creation, small 
business development, and transportation and infrastructure planning in 
Davenport and the Quad City region. They have been strong supporters of 
projects that will benefit the entire community, including restoring 
passenger rail service to the Quad Cities and the innovative ``River 
Vision'' urban flood plain management project along the Mississippi 
River.
  Madam Speaker, it has been a pleasure to work with Davenport One over 
the past year. This group of leaders is making Davenport a more 
sustainable and economically vibrant community.
