  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
dedicated community servant and a national leader in his profession.
  Scotty Lippert, Jr., is a standout in his field. For twenty-one 
years. he has worked for Clopay Plastics Products, a global leader in 
specialty films, extrusion coatings, custom-printing and engineered 
laminations. As a planned maintenance specialist and lubrication 
systems leader, he is one of only 745 people worldwide to meet the 
education, training, and examination standards required to achieve 
Machinery Lubrication Technician Certification.
  Scotty Lippert helped design and construct a lube room that was 
judged best in the world by a panel of national and international 
lubrication engineers. He is beyond doubt an expert in his field, 
authoring training books on lube-room construction and articles on 
lubrication systems and lending his services to a number of Fortune 500 
companies. Just as importantly, Scotty Lippert's best practices in the 
field of lubrication, inspired, designed and implemented at Clopay, are 
now being used by the U.S. Navy.
  On November 2, 2007, Scotty Lippert was chosen as the 2007 Kentucky 
Manufacturing Employee of the Year. He was chosen by a panel of judges 
on account of his innovation, teamwork. community service, and 
leadership credentials.
  In addition to his dedication to his company and profession, Scotty 
Lippert serves his community as a magistrate in Bracken County.
  Scotty Lippert deserves praise for his contributions to his vocation 
and community, and I know the citizens of Bracken County and the Fourth 
Congressional District join me in recognizing his many achievements and 
contributions to our region.
