            RECOGNIZING THE LIBERIAN ASSOCIATION OF MICHIGAN

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today, I recognize the Liberian Association 
of Michigan as they gather to celebrate the 175th anniversary of 
Liberia's independence and the contributions of Liberian Americans to 
Michigan's 13th District Strong.
  Founded in 1971, the Liberian Association of Michigan remains 
grounded in their mission to provide assistance to those in need and to 
preserve Liberia's cultural heritage in our communities.
  Beyond hosting numerous charitable events, the association is ``doing 
the right thing for the right reason'' in its outreach as well as in 
its support to our recent immigrants to our country. The association 
and its members have created a welcoming space for new residents while 
providing social and economic support.
  I commend their incredibly valuable work, and I am so proud to 
support them in their anniversary and their work.
  Please join me in recognizing the Liberian Association of Michigan as 
they celebrate 50 years of service, culture, and kinship across 
Michigan's 13th Congressional District.
