                       Wednesday, March 18, 2009

  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Jim 
Winestock, an outstanding Atlanta, GA, citizen who in February retired 
from a 40-year career with the United Parcel Service (UPS). In his most 
recent role as the Senior Vice President of U.S. Operations, Mr. 
Winestock was responsible for all package operations in the United 
States, including the pick up and delivery of more than 15.8 million 
packages each day. Mr. Winestock leaves a tremendous legacy of 
leadership, not only within the UPS organization, but in the business 
world in general.
  A Greenville, SC, native, Mr. Winestock joined UPS in 1969 as a part-
time package loader while attending Massey College in Jacksonville, FL. 
After graduation, he was promoted into management and worked in a broad 
range of jobs with increasing responsibility across Florida and 
Georgia. In 1992, he was promoted to vice president and Chief Operating 
Officer of the Northeast Texas District, then in 1996 he assumed 
responsibility for the Missouri District. Mr. Winestock was promoted 
again in 1998 to president of the Midwest Region, then became president 
of the North Central Region in 2000. In 2004, he was named Senior Vice 
President of U.S. Operations, the position he would hold for the 
duration of his UPS career.

  Today I honor Mr. Winestock not only for his distinguished career, 
but also for his service that extends far beyond the meaning of his 
title. In addition to his responsibilities as Senior Vice President of 
U.S. Operations, Mr. Winestock served as the coordinator of UPS 
Corporate Schools, the company's management training program, and 
participated in the UPS Community Internship Program at the University 
of Tennessee-Chattanooga. In addition to his numerous career 
accomplishments, Mr. Winestock sits on the Board of Directors of the 
National Urban League and also is a trustee of the MARCH Foundation.
  I am truly honored to be able to call Mr. Winestock a fellow 
Georgian. His hard work and dedication are rare traits. I thank him for 
his years of service and I wish him luck and Godspeed in the next phase 
of his life.
