  Mr. HOLDING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Advanced Auto Parts, Inc. on the recent relocation of its headquarters 
to Raleigh, N.C.
  I am proud that for the second straight year in a row North Carolina 
has topped Forbes' ``Best States for Business'' list. Our well-educated 
workforce and low taxes continue to attract valuable businesses to the 
region from all over the world. North Carolina has cultivated one of 
the strongest business climates in the country and we are proud to open 
our doors to a wide variety of industries from retail to biotechnology.
  I applaud Advanced Auto Parts for its decision to expand operations 
in our thriving Raleigh community and am excited for the future growth 
opportunities companies like these bring to North Carolina every day.
