  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the Greater 
Seattle Chinese Chamber of Commerce for its proven successes. The 
Chamber celebrated its 50th anniversary in February 2013.
  The Chamber, founded in 1963, is a non-profit, non-partisan 
organization. The Chamber plays a major role in bringing together 
civic, professional, and business leaders from the Chinese community of 
Greater Seattle. It has been a leading voice in many important 
decisions affecting the Chinese business community in the Puget Sound 
region.
  The Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce has a long history of proven 
success with its business development, scholarships, and ambassador 
programs. It is an advisory board member of the Trade Development 
Alliance of Greater Seattle (TDA) and a member of the Washington State 
China Relations Council (WSCRC).
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I honor the 50 years of 
the Greater Seattle Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The Greater Seattle 
Chinese Chamber of Commerce connects leaders, improves the economy, and 
benefits the Puget Sound community.
