         CONGRATULATING THE UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS

  (Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the United 
Way of Central Massachusetts as they celebrate their 100th birthday 
this month and to thank the incredible staff, interns, fellows, 
volunteers, and community partners who allow this amazing institution 
to make a difference for so many people.
  When I think of organizations that change lives, organizations that 
mobilize and unite our community to inspire change and create a better 
world, organizations that look out for the least among us by giving 
families the tools and stability they need to break the cycle of 
poverty and get back on their feet, I think of the United Way of 
Central Massachusetts.
  I am so proud and grateful for the work they do every day and the 
positive impact they have on the folks I am privileged to represent.
  On behalf of my constituents and with thanks from the entire United 
States Congress, congratulations to the United Way of Central 
Massachusetts for a century of awe-inspiring work, and here is to many 
more.
