  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to take this opportunity to 
recognize the Asian Community Service Center on the 10th anniversary of 
the Chinese New Year Festival that is taking place at the Luther 
Jackson Middle School in Falls Church, Virginia on Saturday, January 
14, 2017.
  This family friendly festival will once again feature lion dances and 
the exciting Dragon Parade, along with a variety of other dance and 
musical performances from Chinese and other Asian cultures.
  I want to commend the Asian Community Service Center for 
enthusiastically inviting all Americans to attend this festival. Their 
warm hospitality provides an opportunity for everyone to learn about 
the unique beauty of the Chinese culture.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to represent a significant number of 
Chinese Americans who live and work in my Congressional District. At 
the beginning of the Year of the Rooster, I would like to wish you and 
our colleagues a very happy and prosperous new year.
