  Mr. HORSFORD. Madam Speaker, I ask that this body recognize the 
Culinary Union's 84th Anniversary.
  Since 1935, the Culinary Union has improved the lives of hundreds of 
thousands of Nevada hospitality workers and their families. Its 
continued fight to secure good benefits and union wages for its members 
have made it an essential economic institution in the Silver State.
  The Culinary Union can rightfully claim that it has won a ``middle-
class standard of living'' for more than 700,000 hospitality workers 
during its 84 years. Its guest room attendants, cocktail and food 
servers, porters, bellmen, cooks, bartenders, laundry and kitchen 
workers hail from 178 different countries and speak 40 different 
languages.
  I'm proud of the work this union has accomplished.
