                 RECOGNIZING MELODY AND RACHEL STEINER

  (Mr. MILLER of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Melody and 
Rachel Steiner, the Sunbow 57 Girls who sell cotton candy and homemade 
cookies at farmers markets across our district and northeast Ohio.
  I met Melody at the Downtown Wooster Farmers Market, where she is 
using her business proceeds to save up for aviation school.
  One of my biggest priorities in Congress has been career and 
technical education. I know how badly we need more pilots and aviation 
workers. I am proud to have young leaders in my district pursuing their 
dreams and securing the future of the American workforce.
  Small businesses are the foundation of our economy, as over 99 
percent of United States businesses are small businesses. Whether you 
run a cotton candy stand or a local factory, the United States is 
rightfully called the land of opportunity, and the American Dream is 
alive and well.
  I am grateful for the hard work, ingenuity, and dedication of 
entrepreneurs like Melody and Rachel in northeast Ohio who make our 
communities great places to live.
