                        HONORING THOMAS JOHNSON

  (Ms. CARSON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. CARSON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. 
Thomas Johnson, a professional truck driver for Roadway Express and 
proudly one of my constituents.
  Mr. Johnson was recently invited into the ranks of the Individual 
Million Mile Safe Drivers, a small group of truck drivers who have 
driven their vehicles more than one million miles without accident.
  To put what Mr. Johnson has done into perspective, the average car 
driver would have to travel around the world at least 40 times to equal 
this milestone. This is a remarkable accomplishment, and is an 
outstanding safety achievement. I rise today to congratulate Mr. 
Johnson for his hard work and for the example he sets for other 
professional truck drivers and regular motorists.
  Mr. Johnson has been with Roadway Express for over 8 years and I know 
that they are as proud of him as I am. I wish Mr. Johnson, his family, 
his company all the best for the future and hope that he will keep on 
trucking safely for many years to come.
