               CONGRATULATING FORD CHICAGO ASSEMBLY PLANT

  (Ms. KELLY of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Ford Chicago Assembly Plant on its 100 years of operation this August.
  For decades, Ford has crafted a legacy of excellence and resilience 
in Illinois' Second Congressional District. It has weathered economic 
storms, technological revolutions, and a global pandemic, emerging 
stronger with each passing year.
  The cars that have rolled off these assembly lines are not just 
machines. They are testaments to the craftsmanship, innovation, and 
dedication of countless individuals.
  As we celebrate this historic milestone, let us remember the past 
with pride, embrace the present with gratitude, and look to the future 
with excitement and resolve.
  Here is to a century of achievement and to many more years of 
innovation, success, and Ford toughness.
  On another note: Sheila Jackson Lee, you will be so missed.
