CONGRATULATING MAGEE RIETER FOR 11TH STRAIGHT HONOR FROM GENERAL MOTORS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PAUL E. KANJORSKI

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 15, 2003

  Mr. KANJORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Magee Rieter 
Automotive Systems of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania for winning the 
``Supplier of the Year'' award for quality and service for the 11th 
consecutive time from General Motors Corporation. I ask that my 
colleagues pay tribute to Magee Rieter, its President and Chief 
Executive Officer Mike Katerman and all the employees for winning this 
International recognition.
  Not only is this the 11th straight award for Magee Rieter and its 
employees, they now have the distinction of being the only company in 
all of North America to earn the honor for so many consecutive years. 
Each year, less than 100 companies out of 30,000 win this distinction. 
Additionally, only one other company in the world can match this 
incredible record of quality.
  As Mr. Katerman puts it, Magee Rieter manufactures the highest 
quality fabricated floor carpet and acoustical systems. General Motors 
is their largest customer.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege and honor to represent a company that 
has been internationally recognized for its commitment to quality, 
service, technology and its pricing. It is equally rewarding to 
represent employees who are acclaimed for their hard work and 
ingenuity.
