                 RECOGNIZING LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE

  (Mr. LATIMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, we often speak about how Congress can help 
small businesses grow, but the true hard work is being done on Main 
Streets across this Nation.
  In the Sound Shore region of Westchester, businessowners are 
advancing their own businesses and finding time to lead local Chambers 
of Commerce, implementing programs and events that promote their 
business districts. From Mistletoe Magic in Rye to the downtown farmers 
market in Scarsdale, sidewalk sales in Larchmont and Mamaroneck, these 
entrepreneurs are driving revenue and profits with creativity and 
energy.
  Let me recognize the work of these local leaders: Catherine White, 
New Rochelle; Michael Murphy, Mamaroneck; Brian Jackson, Rye; Ralph 
Karkout in Harrison; Cammie Morrissey and Fritz Falanka, Port Chester, 
Rye Brook, Rye Town; Gina Proia and Nancy White, Larchmont; Marcy 
Berman-Goldstein and Ken Giddon, Scarsdale Business Alliance; Anne Gold 
and Marc Jerome, New Rochelle Business Improvement District.
  Mr. Speaker, in future speeches, I will recognize leaders in the 
Bronx and along the Hudson River communities of Westchester. We salute 
them all.
