the hard work and innovation of their founders and employees.
  Trinidad Benham is a thriving, nationwide corporation, originally 
founded in Colorado, with a bean and rice processing and packing 
facility in the 4th Congressional District. Over the last 100 years, 
this company has grown from a small family-owned bean and elevator 
business to the prosperous company it is today. They have created many 
jobs and made notable contributions to improve the communities near 
their operations as well as their employees' livelihoods.
  Trinidad Benham is an excellent example of what enterprising and 
forward thinking businesses can accomplish in America's great economy. 
They should be commended for their effort to offer consumers a great 
product, employee ownership model, commitment to sustainability, and 
innovative spirit. Their inspiring success over the last century 
confirms that the American Dream is alive and thriving in Colorado and 
the United States.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the Trinidad Benham 
Corporation for celebrating their 100th Anniversary.
