      CONGRATULATING THE MASSACHUSETTS LATINO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

 Mr. KERRY. Mr. President. I wish to congratulate the 
Massachusetts Latino Chamber of Commerce, La Camara de Comercio, on the 
opening of their new Business Center in Springfield, MA. The Business 
Center will be the home of a number of Latino-owned businesses as well 
as providing owners with workshops and trainings for members to gain 
knowledge in their perspective business area. In addition, the center 
will establish a computer lab to assist members with business research 
and planning. The new center will serve as a resource able to provide 
support, referral, and advocacy services to small business owners. La 
Camara de Comercio will establish a computer center to assist members 
with business research and planning, as well as business language 
seminars. Latino businesses across the Commonwealth from Springfield to 
Boston are helping us to better compete in the global market. It is my 
privilege to congratulate La Camara de Comercio on this new 
endeavor.
