         RECOGNIZING MURRAY-CALLOWAY COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Murray-Calloway 
Chamber of Commerce for their designation as the 2019 National Chamber 
of the Year.
  This national honor was awarded at the ACCE National Convention in 
Long Beach, California, on July 15. This is the second win for the 
Murray-Calloway County Chamber, the first being in 2012.
  The National Chamber of the Year Award recognizes the area's business 
leaders whose community contributions are unparalleled. ACCE only 
invites a limited number of the chambers to apply, and the application 
process considers the chambers' structure, finances, member engagement, 
services, and programs upon honoring a chamber. The chamber's efforts 
have benefited not only the Murray-Calloway County area, but positively 
impacted communities throughout western Kentucky.
  I would like to thank President Michelle Bundren and Board Chair 
LaCosta Beane-Hays, as well as the directors, staff, and chamber 
members for their unwavering dedication to the betterment of local 
industry.
  I look forward to future accomplishments of the chamber and am proud 
to represent the thriving business leaders in Murray and Calloway 
County, Kentucky.
