                       Tuesday, February 10, 2026

  Mr. MURPHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the Future 
Business Leaders of America. I include in the Record the following 
proclamation:

       Whereas, Future Business Leaders of America, Inc. (FBLA) is 
     a non-profit educational organization whose first chapter was 
     established in Johnson City, Tennessee, in 1942; and
       Whereas, Iowa became FBLA's first state chapter in 1947; 
     and
       Whereas, Junius H. Rose officially chartered its FBLA local 
     chapter on January 21, 1969; and
       Whereas, FBLA includes more than 250,000 members and 
     advisers in 4,600 chapters nationwide in middle schools, high 
     schools, colleges, universities, career and technical 
     schools, and private business schools; and
       Whereas, FBLA is a professional business organization 
     dedicated to bringing business and education together in a 
     positive working relationship through innovative leadership 
     and career development programs; and
       Whereas, FBLA members perform community service activities 
     and strive to build a student's understanding of the 
     realities of the modern business world; and
       Whereas, FBLA teaches middle school, high school, and 
     college students basic business and leadership principles; 
     and assists them in the transition from school to work; and
       Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Greg Murphy, M.D., 
     United States Representative for North Carolina's 3rd 
     Congressional District, recognize February 9-15, 2026, as 
     National FBLA Week in North Carolina's 3rd Congressional 
     District, in recognition of the activities and efforts led by 
     the students at J.H. Rose High School.
