                         Monday, July 25, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to acknowledge Mars Inc., which is 
celebrating its 75th year of producing M&Ms to the good citizens of our 
nation this year. Mars is our county's oldest independently owned 
company, and I would like to personally congratulate the Mars family 
and their associates for the continued dedication to excellence in 
forming such an iconic brand. This company embodies the core of this 
nation's values through their investment to our community and their 
continued outstanding performance.
  The Mars Company has ranked as one of the top places to work by 
Fortune Magazine since their inception in 1911. In 1957 the Mars 
Foundation was established to provide grants to conservation groups and 
non-profits serving the greater Washington, D.C. area while also 
maintaining a local presence in annual McLean events. This is a clear 
testament to the outstanding work which is conducted by this caring 
family and they are deserving of recognition.
  Mr. Speaker, it brings me immense pride to recognize such a fine 
group, and I sincerely hope that we all can live up to their tremendous 
example. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Mars 
family and their business. I wish them continued success and hope that 
they remain a strong positive presence in our community for years to 
come
