  Mr. DEUTCH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Puerto Rican 
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for Palm Beach County, Florida. Since its 
founding in 2005, the Chamber has devoted itself to promoting and 
supporting Puerto Rican and Hispanic owned businesses, while placing a 
strong emphasis on Hispanic culture and values.
  The Chamber has been the main sponsor of the Fiestas Patronales and 
Business Exposition in Palm Beach Counties, allowing the Chamber to 
reach out and create connections throughout the many Hispanic owned 
businesses of South Florida. In addition, the Chamber founded the 
Health Mothers/Healthy Babies Coalition of the Palm Beaches, whose 
mission is to promote the well being of mothers and their newborns 
throughout South Florida.
  The Puerto Rican Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for Palm Beach County, 
Florida has made a lasting impact in Palm Beach County, promoting and 
supporting business and culture, and by growing an organization where 
Puerto Ricans and Hispanics in South Florida can feel at home.
  I rise to congratulate the Puerto Rican Hispanic Chamber of Commerce 
for their excellence and leadership in promoting South Florida's 
Hispanic owned businesses.
  The South Florida Hispanic community is truly a better place because 
of the hard work of the Puerto Rican Hispanic Chamber of Palm Beach 
County, Florida. I wish the Chamber continued success in all its future 
endeavors.
