  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate the 
Cuba, New York Chamber of Commerce on its 100th anniversary. Over the 
past 100 years, the Chamber has successfully provided small businesses 
and local entrepreneurs with the resources, expertise, and advice 
needed to succeed.
  The town of Cuba is stronger and more vibrant because of the Chamber. 
This organization has proven to be an invaluable resource for promoting 
local businesses by providing them with opportunities for growth. The 
Chamber brings businesses together, creating strong economic bonds and 
partnerships between its members. In addition, it provides referrals 
that are crucial to many businesses in the area. Due to the Chamber's 
unrelenting work in assisting commerce, local businesses continue to 
provide well-paying jobs and high-quality products and services to our 
region.
  The Chamber is also a strong advocate for local tourism. It supports 
local events and industries that attract visitors to Allegany County, 
including a wide variety of agritourism and outdoor activities.
  Once again I wish to congratulate the Cuba, New York Chamber of 
Commerce on 100 successful years of service and I look forward to the 
great contributions it will continue to make to New York's 23rd 
Congressional District.
