                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 9, 1999

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Shipman Elevator 
Company's chemical plant in Shipman, IL, for winning a 1999 
Environmental Respect Award from Dealer Progress Magazine.
  Shipman Elevator Company has taken pro-active steps to ensure that 
their operations are safe and environmentally sound. For example, they 
use a combination of a computerized mixing program and the facility 
manager to ensure the processing and measuring of their products is 
always accurate. They also routinely conduct training and education 
classes for all of their employees to ensure the completion of 
environmental and efficiency goals.
  I would like to express my gratitude to Shipman Elevator Company for 
producing agriculture products that are environmentally respected.
