              HONORING JAY TAYLOR'S SERVICE TO MANCHESTER

  (Mr. BRADLEY of New Hampshire asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BRADLEY of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jay 
Taylor upon his retirement from the position of economic development 
director for the city of Manchester, New Hampshire.
  Jay's tireless efforts to revitalize the Queen City's economic base 
have proved successful, as evidenced by Manchester's booming downtown 
and night life. Ten years ago, New Hampshire's largest city and 
financial center faced a deep recession and a bleak economic future. 
Today, Manchester boasts a new arena, an expanding airport, and a 
reenergized night life of new shops and restaurants due, in large part, 
to Jay's hard work.
  Without Jay's guidance and keen business savvy, Manchester would not 
be the prosperous economic heart of New Hampshire that it is today. 
Manchester and the State of New Hampshire are fortunate to have 
dedicated individuals like Jay working to make this city and this State 
a great place to live and do business.
