  Ms. BERKLEY. Madam Speaker, today I urge my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing the National Association of Women in Construction, NAWIC, 
Las Vegas Chapter 74 for their representation of women in the 
construction industry.
  Las Vegas Chapter 74 has been representing women in construction for 
48 years.
  The NAWIC Las Vegas Chapter 74 has benefited Southern Nevada through 
numerous educational and development programs.
  The Las Vegas Chapter 74 has unceasingly promoted the employment and 
advancement of women in the construction industry.
  The construction community, represented by the Las Vegas Chapter 74, 
has been a driving force in fostering community development through 
renovation and beautification projects, promotion of skilled trade 
careers, and a positive vision of the future.
  They have sought to achieve successful results for Las Vegas and 
surrounding areas in a cooperative spirit with other organizations.
  As the Representative for Nevada's First Congressional District, it 
gives me great pleasure to acknowledge the Las Vegas Chapter 74 and 
their many dedicated volunteers for their steadfast work to support 
women in construction. I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing 
this outstanding organization.
