        RECOGNIZING THE NATIONAL ROOFING CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION

 Mr. KIRK. Mr. President, I would like to honor the National 
Roofing Contractors Association, NRCA, headquartered in Rosemont, IL, 
and support recognizing the week of June 5-11, 2016, as National 
Roofing Week.
  NRCA's 3,800 members, located across all 50 States, play a key role 
in the installation and maintenance of roofing systems. In rain, snow, 
or wind, the roof is the first line of defense against natural elements 
for any home or business. However, until a roof falls into disrepair, 
its importance is often overlooked.
  National Roofing Week is a valuable reminder of the significance that 
quality roofing has on our communities and honors the thousands of 
contractors in the roofing industry across the United States. The 
NRCA's vast network of roofing contractors and industry-related members 
handle a majority of new construction and replacement roof systems on 
commercial and residential structures across the United States. 
However, the organization's activities extend beyond its construction 
duties.
  National Roofing Week offers an opportunity to distinguish the 
thousands of NRCA members and their commitment to supporting their 
local communities. I commend the NRCA for their efforts and ask all my 
colleagues to join me in acknowledging their contributions to our 
communities during National Roofing Week.
