                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 27, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Mayday 
Manufacturing Co., Inc., located in the 26th District of Texas, and its 
President Mike Nelson on being named Regional Subcontractor of the Year 
by the United States Small Business Association.
  This recognition is awarded to ten subcontractors around the country 
by the U.S. SBA to companies that meet or exceed their government 
contracts. Subcontractors are nominated by the government and prime 
contractors for outstanding performance in various areas. Mayday 
Manufacturing won the award for Region 6 which encompasses Arkansas, 
Louisiana, New Mexico, Okalahoma and Texas. Vought Aircraft Industries, 
also located in North Texas, nominated Mayday Manufacturing and 
President Nelson.
  Mayday Manufacturing Co., Inc. started in 1966 in a small Texas 
garage. It has grown over 39 years as a business which now serves 
hundreds of customers globally. The company specializes in aerospace 
parts to be used in commercial and military aircraft.
  I am proud of Mike Nelson and his company for winning SBA's Regional 
Subcontractor of the Year award. Their industriousness is a fine 
example of how small businesses make a profound impact. Mayday 
Manufacturing is a wonderful example on which other companies should 
model themselves in order to attain this high level of achievement.
