                  NEW JERSEY'S CONFECTIONARY INDUSTRY

  (Mr. GARRETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GARRETT. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize an industry that 
has a large and very delicious impact on my home district in the Fifth 
District of New Jersey. I, of course, am talking about New Jersey's 
confectionary manufacturers.
  I am proud to see New Jersey products in stores, not only throughout 
the State and the country, but around the world. The Fifth District's 
own Promotion in Motion and M&M Mars have contributed to countless fond 
memories of enjoying candy at sports games, movie theaters, and 
birthday parties; but the confectionary industry provides even more 
than just tasty treats.
  In New Jersey and throughout the country, this industry is an 
economic driver comprised of family-owned businesses employing tens of 
thousands of employees across the State and across the country.
  No doubt, New Jersey is a sweeter place thanks to the candy 
manufacturers that call our State of New Jersey home.
