                      Wednesday, September 5, 2018

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Suburban 
Propane headquartered in the Township of Hanover, New Jersey on the 
occasion of its 90th Anniversary.
  Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. is a nationwide distributor of 
propane, fuel oil and related products and services, as well as a 
marketer of natural gas and electricity, proudly celebrating 90 years 
of innovation, growth and quality service.
  Since the concept of using propane as a portable heating source was 
born in 1928 by its visionary founder in a small New Jersey town, 
Suburban Propane and its predecessor companies have been committed to 
delivering outstanding customer service to the communities served. In 
1945, under the name Suburban Propane Gas Corporation, Suburban Propane 
became the first stock exchange listed public propane distributor in 
the United States. After several transformations, Suburban Propane 
again emerged as a publicly-traded Master Limited Partnership (``MLP'') 
listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1996, and today is one of the 
oldest existing MLPs. Throughout its now nine decades of serving 
customers nationwide, Suburban Propane has maintained its high 
standards for safety, integrity and customer satisfaction.
  From its roots as a small neighborhood business, Suburban Propane has 
grown into a nationwide distributor with a vast network of more than 
650 locations in 41 states. Today, Suburban Propane is the third 
largest retail propane provider in the United States, serving the 
energy needs of approximately 1.0 million residential, commercial, 
industrial and agricultural customers.

  The more than 3,200 employees of Suburban Propane are proud members 
of every community they serve. Suburban Propane's long-term commitment 
to giving back to its local communities led to the creation of an in-
house initiative called SuburbanCaresTM, which encourages and supports 
Suburban Propane's employees in their efforts to serve their customers 
and communities. Since 2012, Suburban Propane has partnered with the 
American Red Cross as a national sponsor volunteering time, and 
donating blood and much needed supplies to support the American Red 
Cross and their lifesaving endeavors.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and our colleagues join me in 
congratulating Suburban Propane Partners, L.P., on the occasion of its 
90th Anniversary.
