HONORING UNITED PARCEL SERVICE -- (House of Representatives - July 16, 2007)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Res. 375--Honoring United Parcel Service and its 100 years of commitment and leadership in the United States--and the more than 1000 UPS drivers, managers and other employees in the Third District of Nebraska.

Founded in 1907, UPS has become an everyday sight for many of us. In Washington, DC it is not remarkable to see one of the big, brown trucks every day.

But for people in rural Nebraska, UPS is an invaluable resource. Rural delivery service--for many--is a life-line for homes far away from the local post office. UPS prides itself on delivery service to every address in North America and Europe, including areas where neighbors can be separated by miles of ranch and farmland.

I have had the honor of meeting with some UPS drivers, and I look forward to doing so again in the near future. Until then, I say ``thank you'' to all UPS employees and to ``keep up the great work.''
