  Mr. HOBSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the achievements of 
Business Technologies and Solutions, Inc,'s (BTAS) of Beavercreek, 
Ohio, which is being honored at the Annual National Minority Enterprise 
Development Week in Arlington, Virginia.
  As Representative of Ohio's 7th Congressional District, I am pleased 
to recognize Ms. Angela Vlahos, President of Business Technologies and 
Solutions, as her company receives the award for the Region V Minority 
Small Business Firm of the Year. BTAS has demonstrated outstanding 
success since it was established in 1992. Ms. Vlahos' commitment to 
providing quality business and enterprise solutions has allowed her 
company to experience rapid growth and enjoy more extensive contract 
opportunities with public and private companies, including Wright 
Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
  BTAS has trademarked its Right Solution Model which provides a 
framework for consistent delivery of high performance for each 
individual contract. This dedication to quality now is officially 
recognized by the U.S. Small Business Administration and the U.S. 
Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency.
  Additionally, I wish to thank BTAS for its participation in our local 
community. The firm's contributions to the area, including information 
technology training for students of the Dayton School System and 
recreational activities for children at St. Joseph's Treatment Center, 
serve as a positive model for other local companies.
  Mr. Speaker, I join the Small Business Administration and the 
Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency in 
recognizing the achievements of Ms. Angela Vlahos and Business 
Technologies and Solutions, Inc.
