          CELEBRATING 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF POLLACK INVESTMENTS

  (Mr. BIGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BIGGS. Madam Speaker, today, I recognize the legacy of service 
and leadership of Michael Pollack, a resident of Arizona's Fifth 
Congressional District. I join him in celebrating his 50th year as 
president and founder of Pollack Investments, which specializes in 
commercial restoration and renovation projects, specifically long-term 
investments in shopping centers and other multi-tenant locations.
  In his industry, many developers will look at a property that has 
fallen into disrepair and see only a building ripe for destruction. In 
his own words, Michael sees ``each real estate project as an 
opportunity to enhance the fabric of Arizona's cities one development 
at a time.''
  Whether refusing to take advantage of those affected by the housing 
crash or working with tenants to make it through the COVID era without 
closing their doors, Michael has always remained focused on protecting 
the overall economic and social health of our cities and their 
residents.
  Michael's enduring legacy is one of inspiration, renewal, and 
compassion. He set new standards in his industry and community. He has 
made an immeasurable impact on the lives of countless Arizonans.
  On behalf of Arizona's Fifth Congressional District, I thank Michael 
for inspiring others with his unwavering commitment to making our 
communities better than he found them, one development at a time. I pay 
homage to Michael Pollack and congratulate him.
