        AUTO MANUFACTURING RETURNS TO INDIANA'S EIGHTH DISTRICT

  (Mr. BUCSHON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUCSHON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate some great 
news for manufacturing in Indiana's Eighth Congressional District, my 
home. On January 17, the 3 millionth vehicle rolled off the line at the 
Toyota Motor Manufacturing plant in Princeton, Indiana. Approximately 
80 percent of the parts for these vehicles were made here in America 
within a 300-mile radius of the plant. These vehicles are then shipped 
and sold both across this country and around the world thanks to the 
free trade agreements that Congress passed this year.
  This plant began operations in 1996 and employs 4,149 people. I had 
the pleasure of meeting many of the Princeton team members last 
February, and I want to commend each of these employees for their hard 
work and dedication. I congratulate them on a job well done. I have no 
doubts that it won't be long until we celebrate another millionth 
vehicle made right here in the U.S.A. in my district in Indiana.
