  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Laborers 
International Union of North America (LIUNA), Local 165 on the occasion 
of their 100th Anniversary.
   LIUNA is a progressive, fast growing union of construction workers 
that are at the forefront of their industry, with over a half million 
members across the United States and Canada.
   I understand and appreciate the important role that organized labor, 
and chapters such as Local 165, play in our communities here in the 
17th Congressional District of Illinois and across the country. 
Organizations such as LIUNA have a tremendous positive impact on the 
working families of Illinois.
   Mr. Speaker, I again want to congratulate the Laborers Local 165 on 
this notable event, and am glad that organizations like theirs exist, 
and I thank them for their contributions to our community.

                          ____________________
