                  The 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF PEPSI COLA

 Mr. FAIRCLOTH. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
100th Anniversary of Pepsi Cola and salute New Bern, N.C., as the 
birthplace of Pepsi. Originally known as ``Brad's Drink,'' Pepsi-Cola 
was invented in 1898 by Caleb Bradham in his pharmacy at the corner of 
Middle and Pollock Streets in New Bern, N.C. Today, Pepsi-Cola spans 
the globe with profits exceeding $1 billion. Yet, this company 
continues to recognize its origins through its investment in the 
communities which fostered its growth. Therefore, I extend 
congratulations to Pepsi-Cola on this milestone, and I salute the city 
and people of New Bern on this historic anniversary.
