                        TRIBUTE TO EDDIE HUGHES

  Mr. YOUNG. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Eddie Hughes on 
60 years of service at UPS.
  Eddie Hughes was born in Mt. Pleasant, MS, and moved to Indianapolis 
to take a job with UPS in 1963. His only hiatus came from 1965-1966, 
when Eddie served his country in the U.S. Army. Originally a package 
handler, Eddie became a UPS driver in 1968, a position he still holds 
to this day. During his 55 years in his current role, Eddie has driven 
an estimated 4.62 million miles making deliveries to Hoosiers. He has 
joined the company's ``Circle of Honor,'' a distinction given to 
drivers who have amassed more than 25 years of safe driving.
  Eddie and Mary, his wife of 42 years, live in Indianapolis. They have 
two adult children, William and Mary Elizabeth.
  It is my honor to congratulate Mr. Hughes and his family on this 
remarkable milestone.
