                      Wednesday, February 5, 2003

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Frank A. 
Ursomarso, Sr. and Frank A. Ursomarso, Jr. of Union Park Automotive 
Group, Inc., this year's recipients of the Family Business of the Year 
Award from the Delaware Small Business Development Center Network.
  As you know, small businesses such as Union Park Automotive Group, 
Inc., have always been extremely important to the economic vitality of 
each State and to our national economy. Small businesses account for 
the majority of all new jobs being created daily, and provide 
opportunities for millions of people to earn a living and provide 
financial stability for their families. Through Frank, Sr. and Frank, 
Jr.'s teamwork and guidance, Union Park Automotive Group, Inc. has 
distinguished itself as a leader amongst small businesses in Delaware 
by offering a valuable service and maintaining a high level of customer 
satisfaction.
  Through out my years in public service I have consistently counted 
Delaware's small businesses to be amongst the very best in the Country, 
and recognition of Union Park Automotive Group, Inc. by the Delaware 
SBDC Network, in my mind, confirms this belief.
  Frank, Sr. and Frank Jr.'s accomplishments and innovative leadership 
in the small business community have placed Union Park Automotive 
Group, Inc. in a position to rise above and meet the challenges of the 
future; I commend them on their receipt of this award and wish them 
continued success.
