  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, Margaret and Stan Planton have provided years of dedication 
to improving their community, including Margaret's service as the Mayor 
of Chillicothe; and
  Whereas, Margaret and Stan Planton, along with members of their 
community, arranged a letter-writing campaign to help convince United 
States Enrichment Corporation (USEC) to build its uranium centrifuge 
plant in Piketon, Ohio; and
  Whereas, Stan Planton worked tirelessly to gather information about 
USEC's plans and convey the information to Members of Congress and 
other legislators; and
  Whereas, on January 12th, 2004, Piketon, Ohio, was selected as the 
site for USEC's centrifuge plant, bringing an estimated 500 permanent 
high-paying jobs into the area; and
  Whereas, Margaret and Stan Planton were an integral part in Southern 
Ohio being chosen as the site for USEC's plant;
  Therefore, I join with Members of Congress and the entire Eighteenth 
Congressional District of Ohio in thanking Margaret and Stan Planton 
for their dedication to this project and their continued efforts to 
improve their community.
