  Ms. FURSE. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure today to congratulate the 
world's largest sports company, Nike, whose headquarters is in the 
First Congressional District of Oregon. Nike was recently named one of 
the 100 best companies for working mothers by Working Mother magazine.
  Nike has recognized that creating a work atmosphere that meets the 
needs of their employees results in a successful company. Working 
mothers employed by Nike enjoy competitive pay, opportunities to 
advance, a large child care facility, and flexible hours. Nike has 
given working mothers the opportunity to participate in a professional 
career

without having to worry that their children are well cared for.
  I offer my sincere congratulations to Nike for their efforts to make 
their corporation family friendly. It is quite an honor for Nike to be 
recognized as one of the 100 best companies for working mothers.
