                        Tuesday, October 9, 2001

  Mr. BENTSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Lubrizol 
Corporation of Deer Park, Texas. On November 15, 2001 the Deer Park 
Chamber of Commerce will name the Lubrizol Corporation Industry of the 
Year for 2001.
  The Lubrizol Corporation is a global leader in fluid technology. The 
corporate vision focuses on creating technologies that will make the 
world a better place. With more than 4,000 employees worldwide, the 
company has annual revenues close to $1.8 billion.
  Founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1928, the Lubrizol Corporation was 
originally a manufacturer of graphite oil products. Today their fluid 
technologies increase operating efficiency and reduce harmful effects 
on the environment. In addition to specialty additives for lubricants 
and fuels, Lubrizol's products have applications in a variety of 
markets including coatings, metal workings, fluids for industry, 
advanced fluid systems and emissions control.
  Lubrizol has emerged into a global, fluid technology company 
concentrating on high performance chemicals, systems and services for 
industry and transportation with worldwide manufacturing capabilities 
and plants in Deer Park and Bayport. The facility services 
approximately 500 customers in 50 countries and employs over 700 
regular and contract workers.
  Lubrizol's corporate philosophy emphasizes a dedication to 
maintaining the health and safety of its employees, customers, 
neighbors and the environment. With this philosophy in mind the 
Lubrizol Corporation has supported the American Chemical Council's 
Responsible Care Initiative, the Texas Chemical Council, Houston 
Regional Monitoring, and the Deer Park Local Emergency Planning 
Committee. Like all Lubrizol employees, the people at the Deer Park 
facility provide a significant amount of time and resources to a 
variety of community activities. Lubrizol supports many youth 
activities and school programs through the Deer Park Independent School 
District, and last year they provided 34 scholarships to students 
attending San Jacinto College. The corporation also assists such 
organizations as the United Way, the Red Cross, the Boys & Girls Harbor 
and the Armand Bayou Nature Center.

  In closing, I want to again congratulate the employees of the 
Lubrizol Corporation for their exemplary model of community activism 
and wish them continued success in future endeavors.
