                                 ______
                                 

               TRIBUTE TO CARTER INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to Carter 
Industries for their recent accomplishment.
  Carter Industries was recently awarded the Defense Logistics 
Agency's, DLA, Business Alliance Award for Outstanding Readiness 
Support in the Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business 
Category. This agency provides logistics support for our military as 
well as other nonmilitary agencies. Carter Industries plays a very 
important role in the DLA's ability to provide clothing to our men and 
women serving domestically and abroad. Specifically, they provide 
coveralls for flyers and combat vehicle crewmen, which protect them 
from fire related injuries. Since 1996, they have manufactured military 
clothing in a timely fashion have consistently been dependable for our 
military. Located in Olive Hill, KY, in the eastern part of my State, 
Carter Industries also provides valuable jobs for Kentuckians in their 
efforts to support our men and women in uniform.
  I now ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Carter 
Industries for their recent achievement and commitment to our military. 
They deserve proper recognition for their service to our great 
Nation.
