                  NEW HAVEN MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION

 Mr. MURPHY. Mr. President, today I wish to commemorate the 
100th anniversary of the New Haven Manufacturers Association.
  Established in 1913 as the Employer's Association of New Haven 
County, the New Haven Manufacturers Association has served the 
manufacturing community of Southern Connecticut and beyond for the past 
century. Since its inception, the New Haven Manufacturers Association 
has endeavored tirelessly to encourage the growth and success of the 
manufacturing sector in Connecticut's economy. It has advocated 
policies critical to the manufacturing community, provided 
opportunities for manufacturers to network and share ideas, and 
educated members on business best practices. It has also actively 
worked to stimulate students' interest in manufacturing careers to 
secure the next generation of workers and ensure manufacturing's 
continued strong presence in the State.
  Connecticut has had a long, storied manufacturing history, dating to 
the days of Eli Whitney. The New Haven Manufacturers Association has 
played an important role in that history. In recognition of that role, 
I am proud to honor the 100-year anniversary of the New Haven 
Manufacturers Association, its commitment to serving its member 
companies, and its promotion of Connecticut's manufacturing 
sector.
