                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 13, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Pete Hood for his 
contribution to our state.
  Pete has had a long and distinguished career working as a Human 
Resources executive for the United Parcel Service (UPS) in Indiana. 
Pete is set to retire at the end of this year. I would like to 
congratulate him on a long career and wish him all the best in his 
retirement.
  Throughout Pete's career, he has been a champion for UPS's culture 
and values. Pete will consistently tell you that UPS is a unique 
company with its own way of doing things. Deliberately. Precisely. 
Efficiently. With Integrity. To me, Pete embodies those principles.
  Over the years, Pete and I have become friends. Pete has taken me on 
tours of several different UPS facilities around the state, and he even 
convinced me to wear the iconic brown uniform and ride around in a 
delivery truck. I've enjoyed the time we have gotten to spend together 
and have appreciated his wise counsel and advice.
  I would like to thank Pete for his friendship and support of my work 
in Congress. I wish him continued success in all that God has planned 
for his family.
