                        RAYNER EQUIPMENT SYSTEMS

  (Mr. BERA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BERA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate an exceptional 
small business in my community: Rayner Equipment Systems. They have 
just been awarded the highest honor the United States Government can 
give to an American exporter.
  I had the pleasure of meeting Rich and Gordon Rayner and visiting the 
facility with Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Sacramento 
business leaders earlier this year.
  Their hard work and competitiveness really highlight the innovation 
in America: the small businesses. It is why we have to open a fair 
playing field across this world. When we have that fair playing field, 
American companies win.
  I want to highlight Rich and Gordon Rayner and their innovation, 
their hard work, their tenacity, and their service to our country and 
our community.
