  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor MillerCoors for 
being recognized as the 2017 Pioneer Award winner by the Jefferson 
County Economic Development Corporation (Jeffco EDC).
   The Pioneer Award is given to a company in Jefferson County that 
demonstrates a pioneering attitude within its industry and the local 
business community. MillerCoors, a MOLSON Coors Company, has been 
demonstrating their commitment to community and innovative spirit since 
1873 when they first started brewing beer on the banks of Clear Creek 
in Golden, Colorado. Now on its fifth generation of family leadership, 
the company continues to be a good community partner making numerous 
investments in the community and local jobs. In addition, the company 
helped launch a recycling revolution, reduced its water usage by more 
than 25 percent, reduced energy use more than 50 percent and achieved 
Zero Waste to Landfill status.
   Congratulations to MillerCoors for this well-deserved award, and I 
thank them for their contribution to our community.
