    UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CARRIER APPLAUDED FOR INGENUITY, COMMITMENT

                                 ______


                          HON. JAMES T. WALSH

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, today I want to congratulate a company from 
my home district, a major employer and important contributor to the 
great quality of life we enjoy in central New York.
  The company is United Technologies Carrier. Recently Carrier was 
honored three times for its ingenuity. On the State level, they 
received The New York State Governor's Award for Energy Innovation. 
These were underlined when the company shortly thereafter received the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Award for Ozone Protection.
  The EPA award, like the others, recognizes Carrier's contribution to 
global environmental protection by way of a new technology. It involves 
two advancements: the improvement of operating efficiencies of 
Carrier's commercial centrifugal chillers, which use chlorine-free HFC-
134a refrigerant, and the development of the world's first residential 
central air conditioner to use a chlorine-free refrigerant.
  These are among the results of a successful 5-year, $71 million 
effort to phase out CFC refrigerants from Carrier products and to 
develop air-conditioning products compatible with chlorine-free 
refrigerants.
  Carrier is the world's largest manufacturer of heating and air-
conditioning systems and equipment. It is a provider of a broad range 
of high-technology products and support services in the aerospace, 
building systems, and automotive industries.
  Over its years in the Syracuse area, Carrier has thrived. It has in 
turn supported community organizations and civic betterment. Carrier 
represents wise management, a dedicated labor force and enviable 
marketing and research--all of which represent the best of American 
industry. I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting them.
