                     MOSES LAKE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Moses Lake 
Chamber of Commerce in Washington State's Fourth Congressional District 
as they prepare to celebrate their 75-year anniversary in October.
  Moses Lake is truly a vibrant community that has developed as a hub 
for diverse sectors, including agriculture, aviation, manufacturing, 
and technology.
  This success is no accident. The commitment of hardworking 
entrepreneurs and local civic leaders has placed Moses Lake on a path 
of increased opportunity for the residents of the city, in Grant 
County, and in the entire region.
  The growing engagement of Moses Lake businesses in trade and 
exporting American products overseas shows the importance of access to 
international markets for the local economy. Moses Lake businesses and 
leaders know the importance of keeping our ports open and supply chains 
operating smoothly.
  While Moses Lake's natural beauty, freshwater, and recreational and 
cultural activities attract visitors from all over, its growing economy 
supports jobs that attract families to stay and call Moses Lake home.
  Congratulations to Moses Lake on 75 years of fulfilling its mission 
to create and maintain a prosperous economy and quality lifestyle.
