                    RECOGNIZING BENCHMARK FOAM, INC.

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Benchmark 
Foam Inc. for receiving the Supporter of the Year Award from the South 
Dakota Habitat for Humanity. This is a prestigious award that reflects 
their hard work and dedication to eliminating poverty around the world. 
It is also a reflection of the valuable role they have played in giving 
back to their local community.
  Benchmark Foam Inc. is partnered with Watertown Region Habitat for 
Humanity and is based in Watertown, South Dakota. The Benchmark team 
has produced and provided expanded polystyrene and other specialty 
plastics for the construction of Habitat homes. Benchmark has developed 
a longstanding relationship with the Watertown Region affiliate. 
Benchmark and its employees have made their mark on the Habitat for 
Humanity progress in the area.
  It gives me great pleasure to recognize Benchmark Foam Inc. and to 
congratulate them on receiving this well-earned award and wish them 
continued success in the years to come.
