                        RECOGNIZING WELLS FARGO

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I wish to recognize Wells Fargo 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.
  Wells Fargo works with Habitat for Humanity of South Dakota. Wells 
Fargo has distributed donations to Habitat for Humanity affiliates 
across South Dakota. These generous donations have exceeded $883,000. 
Wells Fargo employees have been a major asset to Habitat for Humanity 
of South Dakota by volunteering 16,000 hours of labor in the 
construction of 33 homes across the state. Wells Fargo's financial and 
volunteer support has allowed Habitat for Humanity to substantially 
expand its work throughout South Dakota.
  It gives me great pleasure to recognize Wells Fargo and to 
congratulate them on receiving this well-earned award and wish them 
continued success in the years to come.
