                      Wednesday, September 7, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Lawrence County Economic Development Corporation 
(LCEDC), on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the corporation.
  Over the past 50 years the LCEDC has worked diligently to promote 
business growth and help foster ideal climates for commerce 
development. The corporation has also worked tirelessly with local 
business leaders and government officials throughout the community, to 
create jobs for the citizens of the greater Lawrence county region. I 
recognize the LCEDC for all of their hard work and dedication to 
cultivating small businesses which serve as the backbone of the 
American economy.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring the 50th anniversary of the LCEDC. It is an honor 
to represent the Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a 
pleasure to salute such a principled organization as the Lawrence 
County Economic Development Corporation.
