  Mrs. BLACK. Mr. Speaker, in today's America, it can be difficult to 
find employees who truly exemplify service, loyalty, integrity and 
commitment. Today, it is my honor to recognize Jeff Rice for his 
thirty-one years of service at Dollar General. Jeff first joined Dollar 
General as a part time employee in 1981 and began working full time on 
May 7, 1984.
  Beginning as an order puller at the Scottsville Distribution Center 
in Kentucky, Jeff grew his career and his influence through his hard 
work and dedication to excellence to eventually become the Vice 
President of Human Resources for the company. The length of Jeff's 
tenure has only been matched by the depth of his commitment to the 
Dollar General family and its success.
  What is truly inspirational about Jeff is the positive impact he has 
had on the employees at Dollar General and his community. When he 
retires in July, his easy smile, passion for doing the right thing, and 
deeply rooted values will be hard for Dollar General to replace. I 
congratulate Jeff on an exceptional career and wish him well in what 
surely will be an exceptional retirement that will undoubtedly be 
filled with continued service to others.
