  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of HABCO 
Manufacturing, the Habilitation Center for the Handicapped, and the 
upcoming celebration of National Manufacturing Day.
  HABCO Manufacturing's unique business partners a non-profit 
organization with the business community. HABCO Manufacturing has been 
named South Florida's ``Manufacturer of the Year'' and has received 
numerous accreditations in aviation and aerospace. It is also an 
integral part of the Habilitation Center for the Handicapped, Inc. 
Founded in 1978, the Center provides vocational training to adults with 
developmental disabilities and other special needs. The Center's 
mission is to equip these men and women with the knowledge, skills, and 
behaviors needed to lead useful and productive lives with dignity, 
respect, and independence.
  For this National Manufacturing Day 2015, I recognize the 
achievements of the Habilitation Center and HABCO Manufacturing and its 
men and women with special needs. Their expertise in manufacturing, 
quality, education, and training is truly extraordinary. I am proud to 
honor them in the Congressional Record, and express appreciation for 
the community engagement.
