                         Thursday, May 6, 2004

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize the members of 
the Clay/Platte Development Corporation who are meeting today to 
celebrate the past years' successes. They represent the kind of 
community leadership that is necessary for strong and thriving 
communities.
  Established in 1982, in conjunction with the Clay County EDC, its 
mission is to provide economic development assistance to businesses in 
Platte and Clay counties. By proactively seeking businesses and 
providing them with much needed capital, the Clay/Platte Development 
Corporation is a cornerstone for business growth in the Northland.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in commending both the past and 
present members of the Clay/Platte Development Corporation. Their 
contributions to the people of Missouri's Sixth District are important 
and commendable.
