                      CREATING JOBS IN A COMMUNITY

 Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, I want to recognize today one small 
business in Montana that is really making a difference by creating jobs 
in a community that badly needs them.
  Crisafulli J&J Inc. is a small company located in Glendive, MT that 
is actively promoting innovative technology and new jobs for Montana. 
They have recently developed a new system for preserving wood railroad 
ties that extends the useful life of those ties.
  Tie Life Extension Systems [TLES] is a patented process using 
patented equipment that injects preservative directly beneath the tie 
plate and surrounding spikes to retard the growth of damaging bacteria 
and fungi. TLES has been shown to extend tie life by up to 5 years.
  I would like to add that it is companies like this that will lead the 
way to a solid, productive economy for eastern Montana. Crisafulli J&J 
employs 6 people full time, and when projects arise, they employ up to 
20 workers. Such entrepreneurship will mean even more employment 
opportunities for eastern Montana--something that is badly 
needed.
