        CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWNAN-COWETA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

  (Mr. WESTMORELAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WESTMORELAND. Mr. Speaker, I come today to honor the Newnan-
Coweta Chamber of Commerce on being named the Nation's Chamber of the 
Year by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives.
  The members, volunteers, leaders, and friends of this chamber are 
what makes this organization so successful and, in turn, allow our 
small businesses to continue to be successful.
  Because of this partnership, Coweta County is fortunate to have many 
businessowners who have achieved the American Dream by opening their 
own business.
  Our businesses are also examples of how investing in our local 
community and economy can have great impact throughout the area. And I 
mean not just the store owners, but the loyal customers who buy and 
source local goods and services. Healthy small businesses mean a 
healthy local economy and stable jobs for our community.
  I thank the Newnan-Coweta Chamber for providing guidance, advocacy, 
and encouragement to our businesses as we fight our way out of a 
struggling economy and back onto a path for prosperity.

  So, again, congratulations to the Newnan-Coweta Chamber on being the 
number one chamber of commerce as named by the ACCE's Chamber of the 
Year, and I wish you the best for continued success.
