                          MANUFACTURING MONTH

  (Mr. JOLLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate October as 
Manufacturing Month, established to highlight the importance of 
manufacturing in our Nation's economy and to draw attention to the many 
rewarding high-skilled manufacturing jobs across the Nation.
  Each day roughly 1,600 American manufacturers open their doors and 
take up the important work of job creation, keeping the U.S. economy 
thriving and inspiring our young people to pursue careers in 
manufacturing and engineering.
  Student tours like those in my home State of Florida also expose 
young adults to careers in the manufacturing industry like engineering, 
design, and robotics, tours led by the Florida Advanced Technological 
Education Center of Excellence.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues today to join me in celebrating 
Manufacturing Month and recognizing the many ways manufacturing is a 
cornerstone of our economy, both in my home State of Florida and also 
across the United States.
