                        Wednesday, July 30, 2014

  Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the good work of NSF 
International and to commend them for their 70 years of service to 
citizens around the world. NSF International was founded in 1944 as the 
National Sanitation Foundation and aimed to set standards of quality 
for food and water. Since changing their name to NSF International in 
1990 and expanding their influence to other areas, such as 
certifications for consumer goods and the environment, they have 
contributed greatly to the well being of our citizens and our planet.
  NSF International is devoted to ensuring reliable and effective 
standards for all types of consumer goods, services and systems. The 
organization also provides auditing and risk management tools and 
solutions for the businesses and industries they support. They are 
truly great members of the business community as well as valued 
industry partners.
  The sanitation and quality of our products and food present a 
monumentally important responsibility. We need to make every effort to 
ensure that people around the world receive healthy and safe goods and 
services that have a standardized backing. NSF International combines 
all of these values and I am proud to support their mission. I would 
like to thank NSF International for all their work over the past 70 
years and wish them the best of luck in the future as they continue to 
work on behalf of people everywhere.
