              CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF SUCCESS FOR JAYCO RV

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate local RV 
manufacturer, Jayco, and to join them in celebrating 50 years of 
success.
  In 1968, Lloyd and Bertha Bontrager developed their first RV 
prototype on their family farm in northern Indiana and launched a 
family business that would last for generations. Half a century later, 
Jayco has grown to include

over 500 acres of manufacturing plants, more than 300 dealers around 
the world, and countless good jobs for hardworking Hoosiers in our 
community.
  Northern Indiana leads the RV industry in the United States and, as a 
community, we are grateful to have this company to inspire future 
generations of manufacturers and to carry on that legacy.
  It is an honor to represent Jayco, the Bontrager family, and the 
hardworking employees who have played such a vital role in northern 
Indiana's growing economy for decades.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Second District Hoosiers, I want to thank 
everyone at Jayco for an incredible 50 years, and I look forward to 
more amazing things to come.
