                           HON. JOHN SULLIVAN

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 16, 2007

  Mr. SULLIVAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize IC Corporation 
of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and its parent company, Navistar International. 
This year, the IC school bus facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma will 
manufacture its fifty thousandth school bus since the company became 
part of the Tulsa community in 1999. I am honored to represent the 
employees at IC Corporation who build the school buses that provide a 
reliable means of transportation and keep our children safe as they 
travel to and from school.
  The current IC facility originally opened 19 days after the bombing 
of Pearl Harbor and was built to make B-24 Bombers to help our Nation 
win WWII. Based on a history of hard work, the first school bus was 
built by IC Corporation in January 2001. Still one of the largest 
industries in Tulsa County, the buses built by the employees of the 
Tulsa IC Bus Plant carry hundreds of thousands of children around the 
country to and from school.
  The employees at the Tulsa plant exemplify dedication and are one 
reason that the IC Corporation has more than 60 percent market share in 
the school bus industry. The fifty thousandth school bus will be 
delivered to the Ardmore City Schools in Oklahoma at a ceremony on 
October 17, 2007. Congratulations again, and thank you to IC 
Corporation and the more than 900 employees who work at the Tulsa Bus 
Plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
