                          BONEAL INCORPORATED

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute and congratulate 
Boneal Incorporated of Means, KY. This company has been named Regional 
Prime Contractor of the Year for Region IV by the Small Business 
Administration in Washington, DC.
  Boneal has been chosen for this award among companies from Kentucky, 
Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, 
Georgia and Florida. Boneal is now eligible to win the Small Business 
Administration's National Prime Contractor of the Year Award, which 
will be given out during Small Business Week from April 25 to 28.
  This is not the first time Boneal has been recognized for its 
success. In both 2000 and 2001, Boneal received the Quality Supplier 
Award from the United States Postal Service. In 2002, the company was 
named ``Kentucky Industry of the Year'' by Associated Industries of 
Kentucky and received the ``2002 Small Business Administration Award 
for Excellence.''
  The citizens of Kentucky should be proud of this small company. Their 
success serves as an example of how Kentucky's economy can take off and 
adjust to the 21st Century. Boneal Incorporated's know-how and hard 
work should be an inspiration to the business community of the 
Commonwealth. I wish them continued success in the future.
