  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Madam 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, June 1, 2007, the Lake County Electricians Joint Apprenticeship 
and Training Committee (JATC) will honor the class of 2007 at their 
annual Apprentice Completion Banquet, which will be held at the Avalon 
Manor Banquet Hall in Merrillville, Indiana.
  This year, the Lake County Electricians JATC will be recognizing and 
honoring the following graduates, who have completed the apprentice 
training: Angel Alvarez, Gregory Breitzke, Ryan Cleveringa, Justin 
Copak, Christopher Curatolo, Matthew Deering, Sr., Steven Dodd, Brandon 
Fritzsche, Ryan Gregory, Brion Grooms, Dustin Hall, Daniel Kanelopoulos 
II, Michael Keilman, Antonio Kendrick, Christopher Levenson, 
Christopher Nighbert, Carlos Reices, Raymond Rodriguez, Jose Sanchez, 
Micah Schantz, Matthew Summers, Billy Thomas, Dave Waffler, Ryan 
Williams, and Robert Willis, Jr.
  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.
  Madam 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.
