       IN RECOGNITION OF SID MARTIN BIOTECH UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

  (Mr. YOHO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOHO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sid Martin Biotech 
at the University of Florida for winning the Randall M. Whaley 
Incubator of the Year Award, the top award given by the International 
Business Innovation Association.
  This marks the third time in the last 10 years that Sid Martin 
Biotech has been recognized as the top incubator in the world. Even 
more, Sid Martin Biotech is the only program in the world to win more 
than one Randall M. Whaley award. This is a tremendous feat, and I am 
proud that this program is located in North Central Florida in 
Florida's Third Congressional District.
  Sid Martin Biotech has incubated 106 startups since its first 
opening. These companies have raised over $8.8 billion in funding and 
created over 8,000 high-tech jobs.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate the entire team at Sid Martin Biotech 
for this great accomplishment, and I am confident that this success 
will continue in the future.
  Go Gators.
