  Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dennis Raymond of 
Waterbury, Connecticut.
  On March 21, 2015, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 
#677 honored Mr. Raymond for his achievements and service to Teamsters 
and the labor movement.
  He has been a Teamster for forty-four years, rising through the ranks 
to become Secretary Treasurer for Teamsters Local 677.
  Mr. Raymond began his career in 1970 as a route sales representative 
for the former Raymond Baking Company. He was soon appointed as Steward 
representing mechanics, transport drivers and breadmen. Mr. Raymond 
later served as the Recording Secretary and then the Business Agent for 
Local 677, a position he held for twenty-eight years. Most recently, he 
was appointed as Director for the Bakery and Laundry Conference USA & 
Canada.
  For all of these contributions and more, Mr. Raymond will be honored 
at a retirement dinner. I wish to offer my congratulations to him for 
his retirement and my many thanks for his dedication and service to 
Teamsters and the labor movement.
