                                 ______

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 20, 2007

  Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise today to recognize Ben Midgett on more than three decades of 
dedicated service to southwest Alabama.
  Ben recently transferred from the DuPont Mobile site to the DuPont 
DeLisle site in Pass Christian, Mississippi. After joining the Mobile 
Plant and Shell Company in 1977, as a process technician, Ben's first 
role was as an operator. Two years later, Ben had an opportunity to 
move to the site laboratory where he remained for 8 years. Here his 
emphasis was on environmental analysis.
  As Federal regulations changed and focus shifted to environmental 
impact, Ben's expertise made him an integral part of DuPont's 
environmental team. Because of Ben's knowledge and expertise, he was 
promoted to public affairs manager at the DuPont DeLisle site.
  I ask my colleagues to join with me in commending Ben Midgette for 
his years of service to Mobile County and southwest Alabama. I know 
Ben's colleagues, his family, and his many friends join with me in 
praising his significant accomplishments and extending thanks for all 
of his efforts at making Alabama a better place.
