                        Friday, October 12, 2001

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise today to express 
gratitude and congratulations to Swift & Company of Greeley, Colorado. 
Swift & Company is the distinguished recipient of a major contract 
providing high-quality pork products to the U.S. Military.
  Through this contract, Swift & Company will supply fresh pork 
products to Defense Commissary Agency Stores in California, Arizona, 
Utah, and Nevada. For this, Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the company. 
This exemplary company was chosen by the Defense Commissary Agency out 
of twenty different competing firms. The pork it supplies the armed 
forces will be produced in Swift's Greeley, Colorado plant.
  Swift & Company has been a shining example of what every company must 
strive for, producing a quality product while maintaining reasonable 
prices and high safety standards. I applaud the company for its noble 
effort to become a supplier of the U.S. Military.
  As a company located in Colorado's Fourth Congressional District, 
Swift & Company not only makes its community proud but also those of 
its state and country. It is a true honor to have such an extraordinary 
company reside in Colorado and we owe it a debt of gratitude for its 
service. I ask the House to join me in extending wholehearted 
congratulations to Swift & Company.
