             CELEBRATING CONSTRUCTION ON THE NATIONAL MALL

  (Mr. NUNN of Iowa asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of a 
one-of-a-kind event being held in the heart of our Nation's Capital. 
Earlier today, I visited A Celebration of Construction on The National 
Mall.
  This event, hosted by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and 
more than 40 manufacturers and trade groups, brings together larger-
than-life machinery to the steps of the U.S. Capitol and is enjoyed by 
both adults and many children alike.
  For 3 days, visitors to The National Mall will have the opportunity 
to see this equipment up close. This is a unique opportunity for 
policymakers to learn about the manufacturers across the country, 
including some Iowa manufacturers like Vermeer, Cemen Tech, and John 
Deere, who are creating American jobs and contributing billions 
annually to our economy.
  Iowa's Third District is home to more than 34,000 equipment 
manufacturers, more than any other district in the country. I applaud 
AEM for showcasing this work on The National Mall, and I encourage my 
colleagues to take time to visit this exhibition.
