  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize SCORE 
Orlando on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. Since 1964, SCORE has 
helped more than 10 million Americans on their path to 
entrepreneurship.
   SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to helping small 
businesses get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals through 
education and mentorship. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, the Small 
Business Administration, and other partners, SCORE Orlando is able to 
offer its services at little to no cost to their customers.
   In 2013 alone, SCORE volunteers donated over one million hours 
nationwide. These volunteers helped start up more than 38,500 
companies, create over 67,300 jobs, increase revenue for 40,000 clients 
and mentor and train more than 124,600 business owners and 
entrepreneurs.
   I am pleased to recognize SCORE Orlando for its dedication to 
equipping entrepreneurs with tools for fulfilling and successful 
careers, and I thank the SCORE Orlando volunteers for continuing to 
bolster the economy as well as the passions of people who are driven by 
new ideas, hard work and the desire to succeed.
