                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 14, 2021

  Mr. KILMER. Madam Speaker, I would like to celebrate and give 
gratitude to Mr. Nicola Bulgari, an avid connoisseur of American-made 
cars and gracious contributor to the LeMay--America's Car Museum in 
Washington's 6th Congressional District.
  Mr. Bulgari was born and raised in Rome, Italy and as a young boy, 
became fascinated with American cars. He promised himself that when he 
grew up, he would own an American car. This boyhood goal grew into 
supporting a dream that the United States would have a national entity 
dedicated to the heritage that the automobile brought to American life. 
Through his extensive efforts and commitment to helping others who 
share his passion, that dream has become a reality. In 2004, Mr. 
Bulgari joined the Board of Directors for the LeMay--America's Car 
Museum and devoted himself to the effort which led to its opening in 
Tacoma, Washington in 2012.
  Most recently, in January 2021, Mr. Bulgari carried out the 
partnership between the NB Center for American Automotive Heritage and 
America's Automotive Trust based in Tacoma, WA. The Trust is committed 
to honoring the past, celebrating the present, and anticipating the 
future of American automotive legacy.
  We are extraordinarily fortunate to have seen firsthand the 
generosity of Mr. Bulgari in our region. His devotion to the American 
automobile heritage will have a lasting impression on Washingtonians 
and visitors from all around the country and world. I have the great 
privilege of recognizing his impact here in the United States Congress.
