  Ms. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
the Sacramento Center for International Trade Development and the Los 
Rios Community College District for being awarded the President's ``E'' 
Award for Export Service. This prestigious award is being given to 
these institutions in recognition of their support to businesses 
seeking to export their products.
  The Sacramento Center for International Trade Development is part of 
a statewide program funded by the California Community College 
chancellor's office, and is part of the Workforce and Economic 
Development Program of the Los Rios Community College District. The 
center strives to advance northern California's global competitiveness 
by providing export and import services to businesses and organizations 
throughout the region.
  For more than 15 years, the Sacramento Center for International Trade 
Development has proven to be a highly successful provider of 
comprehensive, export services and programs that addresses the needs of 
northern California businesses. A full-range of export services is 
provided, from basic export training, to detailed market support, to 
trade mission preparation and participation. Of paramount importance is 
the unique connection to the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. 
Commercial Service which have allowed businesses in northern California 
to begin exporting products and increase sales in the global 
marketplace.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize and congratulate the 
Sacramento Center for International Trade Development and the Los Rios 
Community College District for their outstanding work to increase 
exports of Californian products, and for being awarded the President's 
``E'' Award for Export Service. Please join me in honoring them.
