                          THE UNION CAMP CORP.

 Mr. SIMON. Mr. President, today I am proud to recognize the 
Union Camp Corp. of Des Plaines, Chicago, and Normal, IL, for its 
commitment to a cleaner environment.
  Union Camp Corp. has become a leader in the use of innovative 
technologies to improve the quality of the environment. The company has 
significantly reduced its solid waste output and increased its use of 
recycled products.
  Through its land legacy program, Union Camp donated 84,000 acres of 
forest land to national wildlife refuges and State parks. Union Camp's 
Eastover, SC mill earned the Environmental Protection Agency's 
recognition for the best water quality from among 33 bleached kraft 
mills throughout the Nation. In addition, Union Camp was honored as 
Company of the Year by American Papermaker magazine.
  Mr. President, the importance of American industry's strong 
commitment to improving the environment cannot be overstated. Industry 
and private citizens alike must get involved if we are to see progress 
toward a clean, safe environment for ourselves and future generations.
  I commend Union Camp Corp. for its efforts, and I look forward to 
continued progress in our efforts to instill environmental awareness in 
all Americans.
