                      RECOGNIZING THE BOTTO FAMILY

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize a well-known and 
beloved family in south Jersey, the Bottos.
  The Botto family embodies the American Dream. Under the vision of 
Robert Sr.--the Sausage King, or Big Bob--the Bottos followed their 
meat market with the Botto's Italian Line restaurant, a supermarket, 
catering and banquet hall.
  I can attest, the Bottos' family sausage, meatballs, and meats are 
absolutely delicious. I had the pleasure of touring some of the 
facilities last month with Dominic and Enrico Botto.
  Your family is a testament to the fact that hard work and passion 
will get you far in life. And in the minds of everyone who has ever had 
the pleasure of enjoying a meal or spending time with you, this is the 
true American Dream, a family who worked hard, who reached for the 
brass ring, who did more, and never gave up.
  God bless you and your family for your commitment to the community, 
and I look forward to plenty of full stomachs in the future.
