                          HONORING JOEL BENSON

  (Mr. CAWTHORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CAWTHORN. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to honor an august leader 
within my hometown community in western North Carolina, a proven 
entrepreneur and a great business leader who is about to open a second 
quick-service restaurant in my district, which will employ over 100 
people.
  Not only will this restaurant employ 100 people, this restaurant will 
also feed 100 families. This restaurant will help house 100 families.
  Not only will these employees get to have the honor of being able to 
earn a living to provide for their families, but they will also be 
under the careful tutelage of their new employer, Joel Benson, who 
everyone in my community will recognize is one of the most influential 
people in my district. Joel is excellent at maximizing the potential in 
everyone in his care and in his sphere of influence.
  Today, I rise to honor a great mentor of mine and a great business 
leader who is providing jobs and a strong economy to North Carolina, 
Joel Benson.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Mr. Benson for his service to our community.
