  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to rise today 
to honor Jade Anderson by entering his name in the Congressional 
Record, the official record of the proceedings and debates of the 
United States Congress since 1873. Today I pay tribute to Jade 
Anderson, owner and CEO of Capstone Brokerage, Inc., for his small-
business achievements throughout the Las Vegas community.
  Jade Anderson is a graduate from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas 
with a degree in Business Administration. He began Capstone Brokerage 
Inc. shortly after graduation, first as a part-time venture for about 
five years. He shifted gears in 2002 deciding to put all of his energy 
into growing his company. His company also serves as a connection to 
other successful entrepreneurs and business minds around the globe. In 
addition to running Capstone, Jade is a member of the Las Vegas Chapter 
of the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO). Through this organization, he 
has been able to apply to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's 
(MIT) Entrepreneurs Masters Program where he meets annually for one 
week with other CEOs and entrepreneurs and listens to business leaders 
and professors speak on issues related to running their own businesses
  Today, Jade is also focused on making certain that his company gives 
back to the community. He gives a large portion of time to Olive Crest, 
a nonprofit organization that supports the prevention and treatment of 
child abuse. He also serves on the Board of Directors of Olive Crest 
and assists with fundraising and volunteer efforts.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Jade Anderson and would like to 
recognize his small-business accomplishments within the Las Vegas 
community. I would also like to congratulate him on receiving the Small 
Business Person of the Year at the 2008 Small Business Awards.
