         HONORING THE 2007 INDUCTEES TO THE UPS CIRCLE OF HONOR

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANIEL LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 6, 2007

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor George David, Jr. 
of Western Springs, Charles Cech of Burbank, Carl Sandrik of Oak Lawn, 
and William Stevens of Chicago for their induction into the United 
Parcel Service Circle of Honor.
  In 1955, UPS created the elite Circle of Honor award to commend its 
safest employees. Circle of Honor drivers, who now number more than 
4500, are recognized only after completing 25 years without accidents. 
On October 2, 2007, UPS inducted 785 new drivers into the Circle of 
Honor. These extraordinary employees were honored with a ceremony as 
well as an advertisement in USA Today.
  I am proud to report that among this year's inductees were four 
residents of my district. These four individuals are exemplars of 
responsible and conscientious driving habits, and as such contribute 
greatly to the safety of our Nation's roads and highways and all those 
who use them.
  I rise today to join UPS in congratulating Mr. David, Mr. Cech, Mr. 
Sandrik, and Mr. Stevens for their wonderful 25-year achievement. I 
applaud their successful efforts to make safety a top priority while 
they perform their jobs and wish them a safe journey on the miles 
ahead.
