  Mr. ROSKAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2010 sIMPACT 
Day held by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS).
  Founded in 1933, NACDS has worked tirelessly to promote the positive 
community impact of the chain drug industry. Throughout its history, 
NACDS and its 150 chains and 39,000 individual pharmacy members have 
worked to adapt to the changing needs of consumers. sIMPACT Day allows 
community pharmacies to share the numerous benefits of their industry.
  I am delighted to recognize the chain drug stores nationwide that 
have a significant presence in my district. Not only do they provide 
thousands of quality jobs, but these pharmacies also provide a vital 
service as part of the healthcare delivery system of my district.
  Madam Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing The 2010 sIMPACT Day, the National Association of Chain 
Drug Stores, and the work these tireless professionals are doing to 
provide high quality health services to the public.
