        RECOGNIZING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AS MANUFACTURING MONTH

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KATKO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 12, 2021

  Mr. KATKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join the Manufacturing 
Association of Central New York (MACNY) in recognizing the month of 
October as Manufacturing Month. This month serves to highlight the 
manufacturing industry's significant contributions to Central New York 
and our nation, while encouraging young people to pursue opportunities 
in manufacturing.
  Importantly, in my district in Central New York, the Manufacturing 
Association of Central New York and its members are significant job 
creators for our region and drivers of the economy. Collectively, the 
organization is made up of over 300 businesses, which employ over 
50,000 workers. It's not an understatement to say our regional economy 
depends on the Manufacturing Association of Central New York and its 
members.
  Beyond Central New York, manufacturing has a rich history in the 
United States. Manufacturing grew our economy, built the middle class, 
and helped us modernize. This industry was an important part of our 
past, and should be a part of our future. That's why today, it's 
increasingly important to celebrate the manufacturing industry, educate 
young people about careers in manufacturing, and expand educational 
opportunities to ensure highly-skilled positions are filled.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House join me during 
the month of October in recognizing Manufacturing Month as well as the 
great contributions of the Manufacturing Association of Central New 
York.
