                      IN HONOR OF AUGUSTINE PEREZ

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETE SESSIONS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 19, 2006

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Augustine Perez of the 
Northwest Postal Station on Northwest Highway in Dallas, Texas, which I 
am proud to represent in Congress. Mr. Perez's record of accomplishment 
as a letter carrier is truly remarkable. Very few carriers become 
members of the U.S. Postal Service's Million Mile Club. Only those 
carriers who have driven 1 million miles, 25,000 hours, or 30 years 
without a preventable accident can earn induction. While membership in 
this club is very exclusive, Mr. Perez continues to exceed these 
expectations, as he joined the club more than five years ago and is 
still delivering the mail.
  Mr. Perez's normal daily routine includes 240 delivery stops with at 
least six hours of driving. Moreover, most of his delivery vehicles are 
without air conditioning in what is often a brutal summer Texas heat.
  I salute Mr. Perez for his continued service in delivering the mail 
to the community, and I wish him many more years of great service to 
the Post Office and its customers. His dedication is unmatched and for 
this I express my sincere thanks.

                          ____________________
