                   IN RECOGNITION OF MR. WARREN PLUM

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 28, 2003

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to applaud the accomplishments of 
Mr. Warren Plum, someone who exemplifies the spirit of those workingmen 
and women who make America great.
  Mr. Plum began his career with the United Parcel Service in November 
of 1966 as a Christmas peak hire. After working through the holiday 
season, and proving himself to be a devoted employee, Mr. Plum was 
called back to work in downtown Spring Lake, New Jersey. He has 
remained on duty for a 37-year span, and has become known around town 
as ``the mayor'' for his affable personality and extreme work ethic. 
Often at times, when Mr. Plum is delivering packages, it is customary 
to hear local citizens greet him up and down Main Street.
  Mr. Plum has accomplished many great milestones in his UPS career. 
His driving record is exemplary. Having spent 36 years driving over 
500,000 miles without a single accident is a remarkable accomplishment. 
Mr. Plum has successfully delivered well over 3,000,000 packages during 
his career at UPS. Knowing what kind of person Mr. Plum is, I am 
certain each package delivery and pickup was made with a smile, hello, 
and wave.
  Mr. Speaker, it is important that we give recognition to America's 
workers for the many years they sacrifice to help keep America so 
strong. It is the dedication and devotion of men and women like Mr. 
Plum that allow the United States to remain one of the wealthiest 
countries in the world. As such, I would ask my colleagues to rise up 
in honoring America's workers, and especially the distinguished Mr. 
Warren Plum.
