            HONORING VALLEY INDUSTRY & COMMERCE ASSOCIATION

  (Mr. CARDENAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARDENAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Valley Industry 
& Commerce Association, known as VICA, on the momentous occasion of 
their 75th anniversary.
  Since its founding in 1949, VICA has been a cornerstone of the 
greater San Fernando Valley, tirelessly advocating for the business 
community and playing an instrumental role in shaping the region's 
economic landscape.
  VICA has served more than 1.8 million residents and 245,000 
businesses, making it an important voice in the prosperity of southern 
California.
  As VICA celebrates this significant milestone, we acknowledge their 
outstanding contributions and unwavering dedication to the economic 
growth of the San Fernando Valley, making the valley a vibrant and 
prosperous place to live and work for decades.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my good friend Stuart Waldman and the 
entire VICA board of directors and staff. May VICA continue to thrive 
and lead with the same passion and commitment for many years to come.
