  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of American 
Machinist magazine's 125th anniversary, the oldest metalworking 
publication in existence.
  Since 1877, American Machinist has been dedicated to informing 
readers about advances in manufacturing technology. This publication 
has evolved with the industry. American Machinist has documented the 
manufacturing industry's path from the worker to the machine, and now 
to computers and robotics.
  This vital publication to the industry includes methods and practices 
of metalworking, cutting, forming, tooling, robotics, quality control, 
plant operation, and finishing. Its technical depth and cutting edge 
graphics to illustrate and support each concept separate American 
Machinist from all other metalworking publications.
  American Machinist is written to provide management and engineers in 
the field of metalworking with the most up-to-date technological 
information and insight into the future of the industry . . . the 
intent of every issue is to help readers to increase production, cut 
costs and to stay competitive in the global market.
  My fellow colleagues, American Machinist magazine deserves the 
highest respect for its role and dedication to advancing the 
manufacturing industry. Management within the industry rely on this 
magazine to find the most up-

to-date information on their industry. I commend this longstanding 
publication for its 125 years of work in the manufacturing industry.
