                   CONGRATULATIONS TO KELLY SERVICES

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise to congratulate Kelly 
Services on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. Founded on October 7, 
1946, in Detroit, MI, by William Russell Kelly, Kelly Services blazed a 
trail in the office staffing industry. Built on a strong reputation of 
caring for its customers and employees, Kelly has grown into a Fortune 
500 company. Today, Kelly provides the services of more than 675,000 
employees annually to 200,000 customers. With more than 1,300 offices 
around the world Kelly is a major player in the office staffing 
industry.
  Recognizing the changing needs of our economy, Kelly has branched out 
into legal services, full as well as partial office staffing, assisted 
living, and

the research and development of software for testing and training 
products. Kelly's innovative training and testing programs have kept it 
at the head of its industry. The experience of this Michigan company 
shows that hard work and dedication to quality service and integrity 
pave the road to success.
  Mr. President, I am proud that Kelly Services, based in Troy, MI, is 
part of the vibrant and growing business community in my State of 
Michigan. The quality and innovation shown by this aggressive 
enterprise under the leadership of President and Chief Executive 
Officer Terence E. Adderley have been an inspiration to all business 
people in my State. Through its contributions to area businesses it has 
improved life in the 37 Michigan communities in which it has branches, 
as well as the communities all over the world in which it conducts 
business.
  Kelly Services has been celebrating its anniversary throughout this 
year. The company will host a major event at its headquarters in Troy 
on October 7. I would like to extend my best wishes to Kelly Services 
for a festive celebration and for another 50 years of superior success 
through superior service.
