  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Dart Container 
Corporation and its Horse Cave plant located in the Commonwealth of 
Kentucky. This past April, Dart Container Corporation, headquartered in 
Mason, Michigan, celebrated its 50th Anniversary.
  The company established a plant in Horse Cave, Ky., in 1980, and has 
been delivering quality goods ever since. Dart Container Corporation's 
Horse Cave facility is currently the largest employer in Hart County 
and continues to expand.
  The plant started 30 years ago with 25 employees and had a 230,000 
square foot facility. Today, it has grown to employ 1,090 individuals 
and now covers almost 3 million square feet.
  The Dart Container Corporation and its Horse Cave facility have a 
long history of community involvement, including participating in Hart 
County's Relay for Life and the Horse Cave Heritage Festival. Over the 
years the

company has sponsored local sports and school activities, 4-H programs, 
Clothes for Kids, the YMCA, American Heart Association, Big Brothers/
Big Sisters, the Hart County Public Library, the Kentucky Repertory 
Theatre, the American Cave Museum and Hidden River Cave.
  The entire Hart County community is grateful for Dart's continued 
presence, support, and generosity.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the employees of Dart 
Container Corporation. I am proud to represent them here in Washington 
and look forward to their continued success.
