  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 50 years of 
operation of the Dover Adult Learning Center (DALC), one of my state's 
leaders in providing high quality education. For the past 50 years, 
DALC has supported community members to reach their full personal, 
educational, and career potentials. Their efforts are ensuring our 
current and next generation grows up with the support and mentorship 
needed to live fulfilling lives.
  Since 1968, they have strengthened New Hampshire's workforce and 
economy. Today, their multiple locations serve as one of the largest 
adult literacy populations in the state. DALC's commitment to a 
respectful and responsive environment fosters life-long relationships 
that lasts years after students graduate. They have proved an important 
reminder on the power of community in helping those overcome 
educational and civic participation barriers. Through education, 
training, and employment, DALC has become a respected leader in the 
learning space throughout the First District.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I want to congratulate the dedicated staff at the Dover Adult 
Learning Center for Youth for their 50 years of dedication to this 
important educational work.
