     HONORING THE SAFETY OF STANDARD REGISTER'S MURFREESBORO PLANT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BART GORDON

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 4, 2002

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the hard work and 
dedication of the employees of Standard Register Company's 
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, plant. The strong work ethic the Standard 
Register associates share have led them to achieve a milestone--five 
years with no lost-time accidents. This five-year period represents 
690,500 hours of working safely.
  In 1978, a site in my hometown of Murfreesboro became the fourteenth 
Standard Register plant. Murfreesboro was chosen because of its 
proximity to the interstates, railroads and airports. Today, the plant 
employs 80 people.
  The Murfreesboro plant manufactures continuous business forms and 
checks. Employees in the Stanfast Section produce booklets, notepads 
and more. The Murfreesboro plant fills orders from local sales offices 
and ships its products all over the United States and internationally.
  Founded in 1912 in Dayton, Ohio, Standard Register currently employs 
6,000 people in the United States, has annual revenues exceeding $1 
billion and serves companies in 40 countries. In addition to producing 
business forms, the company also offers its clients electronic 
documents, as well as consulting and e-business services.
  I congratulate each and every Standard Register employee at the 
Murfreesboro plant for a job well done and wish each one many more 
successes in the future.
