               CONGRATULATING FREIHOFER'S BAKING COMPANY

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Freihofer's 
Baking Company as it celebrates 100 years in business in New York's 
capital region.
  After a century of contributing to the local economy, Freihofer's 
plans to mark this milestone by continuing to give back to our 
community. Over the next year, the Albany-based baking company will 
give away up to 40,000 loaves of bread to consumers and charitable 
organizations.
  What makes Freihofer's a remarkable company is quite simple: its 
people. At every level, the good work done by the Freihofer's team 
makes us all proud, and that is why I am on this floor speaking today.
  Freihofer's has always focused on how best to serve our community. On 
June 1, the organization celebrated its 35th anniversary of the 
Freihofer's Run for Women, one of the largest and most prestigious all-
female 5K road races, which stresses community health and involvement.
  In New York, we are proud to count Freihofer's among our many 
successful businesses that boost our community pride just as much as 
local economic development. I congratulate Freihofer's Baking Company 
on its first century of success and wish them many, many more years of 
fine baking to come.
