                        Tuesday, October 6, 2009

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, congratulations are in order 
for Howard Cho, president of CVE Technology Group in Plano.
  It is an honor and a privilege to salute him for winning the 
distinguished Minority Manufacturer of the Year Award. Presented on 
behalf of the United States Department of Commerce's Minority Business 
Development Agency, this prestigious award pays tribute to the minority 
entrepreneurs who have demonstrated industry leadership, business 
success, and community impact.
  Founded by President Cho in New Jersey in 1986, the company 
specializes in consumer electronics, has revenues of $50 million and 
employs over 1,200 people. In 2002, CVE Technology Group relocated to 
Plano, Texas, where it now provides refurbishment of cell phones and 
remanufacturing business with Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC. 
CVE plans for more growth through continued cellular phone 
manufacturing, expanding their operation and sales revenue.
  In fact, the city of Plano honored Mr. Cho and the company with a 
citation creating ``CVE Technology Group Day.''
  Economic data demonstrates minority-owned firms are poised to 
generate long-term employment and economic growth in their communities. 
Howard Cho's CVE Technology Group in Plano is a shining example of 
that.
  Congratulations again, and thank you, to Mr. Cho and CVE Technology 
Group in Plano, Texas. I salute you.
