                     RECOGNIZING THE SCOOTER STORE

  (Mr. CUELLAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise with my good friend, Representative 
Lamar Smith, to honor The SCOOTER Store, a hometown business in our 
home State of Texas. They've been recognized by Fortune magazine as one 
of the top 100 places to work in America. Fortune magazine has 
recognized this excellent work environment for their employees, ranking 
The SCOOTER Store the 38th Best Place to Work in 2010. The SCOOTER 
Store was founded in New Braunfels, Texas, by Doug and Susanna Harrison 
almost 19 years ago. Today, they serve more than 460,000 people across 
48 States and Puerto Rico, with more than 70 facilities and 
approximately 2,000 employees.
  Mr. Speaker, this is not the first time they have been recognized. 
They were recognized 6 years ago. They're a company built on teamwork 
and good values. And this is why, Mr. Speaker, I'm honored to have the 
time to recognize The SCOOTER Store for their ranking as the 38th Best 
Place to Work in 2010 by Fortune magazine.
