  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Hurst 
Main Post Office for being certified as a Star site in the Occupational 
Safety and Health Administration, OSHA, Voluntary Protection Program, 
VPP. The Hurst Main Post Office is one of three postal VPP sites in the 
Fort Worth area.
  The Voluntary Protection Program promotes success through effective 
worksite safety and health. Approval into the Voluntary Protection 
Program is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's way of 
officially recognizing the outstanding efforts of employers and 
employees who uphold exemplary occupational safety practices.
  The distinction as a ``Star'' site displays Hurst Main Post Office's 
sustained excellence in all areas of safety and health management 
systems. This excellence stems from strong leadership, participation, 
and commitment to quality.
  I commend the Hurst Main Post Office upon their receipt of this 
distinction for their commitment to exercising safe and healthful 
working conditions. Their efforts serve as an example to all, and I am 
proud to be their representative in the 26th District of Texas.

                          ____________________
