                       HOLY LAND BAKERY AND DELI

  (Mr. ELLISON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ELLISON. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate a small 
business in my community on its 25 great years.
  Holy Land Bakery and Deli has become a quintessential part of our 
town of Minneapolis. Holy Land is not only a good place to go to have a 
bite, but it is also a great place for social space.
  Recently, they expanded their facility in honor of their 21st 
anniversary, and they really feel proud about that because they have 
been providing jobs and opportunities for so many years.
  The CEO of Holy Land restaurant is Mr. Majdi Wadi and his brother, 
Wajdi Wadi; and they provide really excellent food that they prepare 
based on recipes that their mother gave them when she emigrated from 
Palestine many years ago.
  For every small business person in America, including the Holy Land 
Bakery and Deli, happy 25 years to them. May you have another 25 years 
of serving your great treats and of offering a wonderful social space.
