  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sincerity and admiration 
that I offer congratulations to several of Northwest Indiana's most 
talented, dedicated, and hardworking individuals. On Friday, July 28, 
2006, the Lake County Electricians Joint Apprenticeship and Training 
Committee, JATC, of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers 
and the National Electrical Contractors Association will honor the 
class of 2006 at their annual Apprentice Completion Banquet, which will 
be held at the Avalon Manor Banquet Hall in Hobart, Indiana.
  This year, the Lake County Electricians JATC will be recognizing and 
honoring the following graduates, who have completed the apprentice 
training: Nicholas Bacan, Daniel Boyd, Glen Britton, Nicholas Cardaras, 
Gonzaliev Castillo, Robert Coleman, James Crocker, David Delaney, 
Oliver Ewing, Jason M. Gallion, Nathan Gombus, Nathan Gonzales, Eric 
Hardesty, Jeremy Huber, Mark Jackson, Eric Kociara, Craig B. Konopasek, 
Travis Link, Jesus Luna, James Mola, William Parsons, David 
Petrashevich, Geoffery Richards, Elliot Rosenberry, John Santana, Jared 
Solan, Jonathan Steuer, Nicholas Vlasich, and Keith Winston.
  Northwest Indiana has a rich history of excellence in its 
craftsmanship and loyalty by its tradesmen. These outstanding graduates 
all exemplify these traits. They have mastered their trade and have 
demonstrated their loyalty to both the union and the community through 
their commitment, hard work, and selfless sacrifice.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in congratulating these committed, hardworking individuals. 
Along with the other extraordinary men and women of Northwest Indiana's 
unions, these individuals have contributed in many ways to the growth 
and development of the economy in Indiana's First Congressional 
District, and I am very proud to represent them in Washington, DC.
