                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                       TRIBUTE TO ZACHARY HORTON

 Mr. OSSOFF. Mr. President, I rise today to commend Zachary 
Horton of Warner Robins, GA, for the inspiring success of his pecan 
business, the Blind Squirrel Nut Company.
  Mr. Horton's story demonstrates that optimism and resilience can lead 
to amazing achievements. The Blind Squirrel Nut Company was born out of 
Zachary's entrepreneurial spirit after he was diagnosed with a medical 
condition that caused him to lose his vision. Mr. Horton's self-
confidence and determination empowered him to launch a pecan business 
that has served customers across middle Georgia for over a year. The 
Blind Squirrel Nut Company also offers a variety of products to 
customers nationwide, giving Americans across the country a taste of 
Georgia's unique pecans.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, I recognize and commend Mr. Zachary Horton 
as a champion who against all odds has been able to fulfill his 
greatest dream thanks to his perseverance, passion, and hope.
