                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 9, 2013

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the extraordinary 
accomplishments of Kenneth A. Camp, President and CEO of Hillenbrand, 
Inc., headquartered in Batesville, Indiana, in my congressional 
district.
  Mr. Camp was elected President and Chief Executive Officer of 
Batesville Casket Company May 1, 2001, and as President, CEO and 
Director of Hillenbrand, Inc., March 31, 2008. Previously he had served 
as senior vice president of Hillenbrand Industries, Inc., and as vice 
president before that. Mr. Camp joined Hillenbrand in 1981, and has 
held various positions with both Hillenbrand and Batesville Casket. 
During the course of his career, Ken has had senior responsibilities in 
sales, marketing, human resources, manufacturing and logistics. From 
1972 to 1978, Ken served his country as a commissioned officer and 
aviator in the United States Army.
  The Hillenbrand companies have been a premier example of corporate 
success in Indiana by developing and producing innovative products in 
the funeral services, and process equipment industries. Ken's hard work 
and leadership within the company has been vital to that success.
  Ken soon will retire from his duties leading this dynamic Hoosier 
company. I ask the entire 6th Congressional District to join me in 
thanking Ken for his long career and service to both his business and 
community.
