                        Thursday, March 18, 2010

  Mrs. SCHMIDT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Mr. David Kenney. Recently, both David and his business, Westrux 
International Inc., were awarded the International Circle of Excellence 
Award for 2009.
  Awarded by Navistar, Inc., the Circle of Excellence is given to 
dealerships that achieve the highest level of performance in terms of 
operating and financial standards, market representation, and, most 
importantly, customer satisfaction. It is the highest honor that an 
International dealer can receive from Navistar.
  David's business, Westrux International, Inc., consists of six dealer 
locations employing 213 people. Westrux International, Inc., has now 
earned the Circle of Excellence Award a total of 13 times. David's 
dealership is also a multi-year winner of the IdealGold Award for 
Excellence, awarded to ``IdeaLease affiliates dedicated to success in 
the lease and rental industry.''
  These awards are a testament to Dave's reputation as a leader in the 
trucking industry through many years of hard work in the industry and 
service to his community. His leadership in the trucking industry is 
evident by his serving as chairman of the International Dealer Council 
and has also chaired the Parts Dealer Advisory Board. In his community, 
he is a member of a leadership coaching group, Vistage International. 
Additionally, Dave sits on St. Mary's College of California's School of 
Economics and Business Administration Advisory Board. Dave is also a 
devoted husband to his wife Jill, and father to four children.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating David Kenney for his 
accomplishments, his record of success, and his many contributions to 
his community, the State of California, and our nation.
