             CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF RIVER ROUGE, MICHIGAN

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize the city of River 
Rouge, Michigan, as they celebrate a 100-year anniversary.
  Established as a city on April 3, 1922, River Rouge is a rich part of 
Michigan's history. It is situated between the Detroit and Rouge 
Rivers. The city of River Rouge has been the heart of Michigan's 
industrial and manufacturing history.
  Nearly 8,000 residents strong, the city of River Rouge takes pride in 
its role as being an integral part of Michigan's economy. They are the 
jewel of Michigan's downriver communities.
  It continues to thrive as a diverse, vibrant, and welcoming community 
that I truly love.
  Its public parks and access to river recreation offer unique 
opportunities for enjoying nature and spotting wildlife along the 
riverfronts.
  Please join me in recognizing the city of River Rouge as we join them 
in celebrating its 100-year anniversary.
  Again, I am beyond proud of serving this beautiful city of River 
Rouge and its residents in Michigan's 13th District Strong.
