                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ocean Spray 
Cranberries, Inc., recipient of the President's ``E Star'' Award for 
Exports.
  Ocean Spray Cranberries has played a pivotal role in forwarding U.S. 
exports abroad through its innovative, multi-tiered marketing 
strategies. The team at Ocean Spray Cranberries has worked extensively 
with non-profits to expand U.S. agricultural exports. In this way, 
Ocean Spray Cranberries has been a leader in the global promotion of 
exports in American agriculture and serves as a model for other 
domestic exporters. Their achievements have also enabled Ocean Spray 
Cranberries to employ many Americans, including many Massachusetts 
cranberry growers, providing valid solutions to the issue of national 
unemployment. Ocean Spray has long been vital to the Commonwealth's 
community and region's economy.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Ocean Spray Cranberries for 
receiving the President's ``E Star'' Award for Exports. I ask that my 
colleagues join me in offering congratulations.
