                      RECOGNIZING INVEST NEBRASKA

  (Mr. FLOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Invest Nebraska and their 
work fostering a new generation of entrepreneurs.
  Since the early 2000s, Invest Nebraska has supported startups by 
backing high-potential businesses across the Cornhusker State.
  In the decades since their founding, they provided millions of 
dollars in capital to startups in industries ranging from software to 
agriculture to healthcare.
  Over the years, Invest Nebraska has assisted 155 companies and 
supported the creation of more than 1,200 jobs across the State. Under 
the leadership of Invest Nebraska CEO Dan Hoffman, our State went from 
dead last in the Nation in venture capital investment to 29th.
  Thanks in part to their vision and success, Invest Nebraska has 
earned the moniker ``Silicon Prairie'' with tech startups popping up 
across the Cornhusker State.
  Invest Nebraska does outstanding work growing businesses that provide 
great jobs in Nebraska.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank them for their good work.
