  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Panch R. Prasad, 
C.E.O. of U.S. International Trading Corporation, for his recent 
professional successes and achievements.
  Panch is the President and C.E.O. of U.S. International Trading 
Corporation. The company was founded in 1990 in Portland, Oregon, 
however, their corporate offices are now located in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
Since its founding, the U.S. International Trading Corporation has been 
committed to providing quality hair care, skin care, and cosmetics 
products. The company's beauty and cosmetics products are sold across 
the world with the products being available to consumers in East Asia, 
Europe, South America, the Middle East, and Australia.
  Most recently, Panch was honored as the Small Business Exporter of 
the Year by the Nevada District Office of the U.S. Small Business 
Administration. The Small Business Administration utilizes an 
independent panel of judges that use several factors in awarding these 
honors to the recipients.
  The panel evaluates businesses on several factors such as the growth 
in number of employees, increase in sales, current and past financial 
reports, innovativeness of product or service, and contributions to 
community-oriented projects. This is an outstanding and well-deserved 
honor. Panch believes in supporting a commitment to excellence by 
providing quality distribution and products to U.S. International 
Trading Corporation's customers. I applaud his commitment to 
excellence.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Panch R. Prasad. His professional 
success is truly commendable. I congratulate him for his recent 
recognition by the Nevada District Office of the U.S. Small Business 
Administration and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
