                   2002 GREEN CROSS FOR SAFETY AWARD

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Ryder 
Systems, a leader in supply chain and transportation management, and 
especially its President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregory T. 
Swinton. The National Safety Council has selected Ryder and Mr. Swinton 
to receive the Council's 2002 Green Cross for Safety.
  This award is given for exemplary commitment to workplace safety and 
corporate citizenship. Mr. Swinton is the first supply chain and 
transportation executive to receive this honor. Since joining Ryder in 
1999, Mr. Swinton has identified safety as one of the company's top 
five goals.
  Please join me in congratulating and recognizing the wonderful safety 
standards that Ryder has achieved, and most especially Gregory T. 
Swinton for his commitment to recognizing the importance of safety in 
our workplace.
