                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 21, 2004

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Nova Chemicals, Inc., a chemical manufacturer located in 
Monaca, Pennsylvania, recently honored by Toyota Motor Manufacturing of 
North America, Inc. as a top supplier for 2003. It is truly an honor to 
have an industry leader in my district.
  Annually, the Toyota Motor Manufacturing of North America, Inc. 
acknowledges those suppliers who have met their highest standards in 
quality, delivery, supplier diversity and value improvements for parts, 
materials, and transportation. Toyota is strongly committed to buying 
from local sources for U.S. manufacturing operations--currently, Toyota 
buys from 500 U.S. suppliers. By the year 2006, Toyota will have the 
capacity to build 1.66 million cars and trucks a year and 1.29 million 
engines in North America.
  Nova Chemicals, Inc.'s Beaver Valley facility was recognized for both 
quality and delivery during this year's 2004 Supplier Awards Ceremony 
at Toyota's Annual Business Meeting and Awards Ceremony. Since the 
company's start in 1954, it has grown into a multi-billion-dollar 
corporation and is now North America's largest producer of polystyrene. 
Furthermore, Nova Chemicals, Inc. is an active participant in the local 
communities where their facilities are based--not only do they provide 
financial improvements to the communities they join but they also 
improve the social surrounding as well.
  I ask that all the members in the House of Representatives join with 
me in honoring this outstanding company based within the Fourth 
Congressional District of Pennsylvania. I am pleased to represent this 
award winning chemical manufacturer.
