                          Monday, June 3, 2013

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in honoring Capital Energy Group 
Incorporated (CEG) as the 2013 District of Columbia Small Business of 
the Year, as well as its president and chief executive officer, Norman 
H. Jones, Sr.
  CEG is a District of Columbia small business specializing in energy 
efficient windows and glass installation. CEG has been awarded 
contracts on three of the largest projects in the District of Columbia, 
the U.S. Coast Guard building at the Department of Homeland Security 
complex at St. Elizabeths, Progression Place--The United Negro College 
Fund Building, and City Center D.C. In addition to working on large-
scale projects, CEG has completed projects for Anacostia Senior High 
School, Unity Healthcare and Building K167 in Southwest D.C. Because of 
CEG's high-quality work, it has now become the largest African-American 
owned glass and window company in the national capital region. CEG has 
used its growth to further its goals of employing D.C. residents and 
promoting glass/glazing as a career option.
  CEG's president and chief executive officer, Norman H. Jones, Sr., 
has over 30 years of experience in the glass/glazing and window 
industry. He continues to share his knowledge with future generations 
by establishing apprenticeship programs for District residents to learn 
more about window glazing and installation.
  I ask the House to join me in honoring Capital Energy Group 
Incorporated and its president and chief executive officer, Norman H. 
Jones, Sr., for their outstanding accomplishments and commitment to the 
residents of the Distinct of Columbia, and in commending Capital Energy 
Group Incorporated on becoming the 2013 District of Columbia Small 
Business of the Year.
