  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and congratulate the 
Corning Area Chamber of Commerce on its 100th anniversary. Over the 
past 100 years, the Corning Area Chamber of Commerce has successfully 
provided small businesses and local entrepreneurs with the resources, 
expertise and advice needed to succeed.
  The Corning community is stronger and more vibrant because of the 
Chamber. The Chamber has proven to be an invaluable resource in 
promoting business in our community through a powerful, united voice--a 
voice that successfully advances opportunities for growth time and time 
again. Due to the Chamber's unrelenting work in promoting and assisting 
commerce, local businesses continue to provide well-paying jobs and 
high-quality products and services to our region.
  In addition to helping established businesses, the Chamber has a 
strong history of providing grants to organizations that assist local 
entrepreneurs in starting new businesses in Corning. The Chamber 
continues to give Corning citizens the tools necessary to succeed.
  Once again I wish to congratulate the Corning Area Chamber of 
Commerce on 100 successful years of service and wish them another 
hundred prosperous years in the beautiful city we call home.
