                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                       Monday, September 17, 2007

  Mr. ROSKAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Quality Float 
Works of Schaumburg, Illinois, for being named 1 of the top 5,000 
privately owned businesses in America by Inc. Magazine.
  The Inc. 5,000 list highlights the fastest growing companies in the 
country.
  Madam Speaker, companies like this are the backbone of the U.S. 
economy and an integral part of my Congressional District.
  With a growth rate of 50%, Quality Float Works is a fine example of 
the hard work and productivity that sets American businesses apart in 
the global marketplace.
  Quality Float Works is a family-owned business dating back to 1915. 
Despite the many challenges currently facing the U.S. manufacturing 
industry at large, Quality Float Works' reputation for providing 
exceptional products and complete customer satisfaction has helped them 
to grow and thrive.
  Under the visionary leadership of President Sandra Westlund-Deenihan 
and Vice President Jason Speer, Quality Float Works continues to shine 
as an outstanding American small business.
  Madam Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing this remarkable achievement.
  I am proud to represent the employees and customers of Quality Float 
Works in the United States House of Representatives and wish them all 
the best in the future.

                          ____________________
