                         Thursday, May 25, 1995
  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a corporation in 
LaVergne, TN, who has been justly rewarded for their continuing 
commitment to service and quality.
  Whirlpool Corp. has received the 1995 Partners in Progress Award, 
based on service, product quality, market performance, and customer 
responsiveness. This is the fourth year in a row Whirlpool has been 
recognized for the PIP Award, which is given only to the top 1 percent 
of Sears' suppliers.
  Whirlpool, home to just over 2,400 employees, makes its mark each 
year by producing the very best in air control products. Each employee 
is to be commended for their role in ensuring the success of Whirlpool 
through their attention to product safety, dependability, and 
performance.
  Please join me today in congratulating these workers in Tennessee for 
their tremendous accomplishment.
