  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend DHL Supply Side, a 
leader in logistics, which has had its warehouse facility in Memphis 
recognized as a Global Lighthouse by the Geneva, Switzerland based 
World Economic Forum. The Global Lighthouse Network is a prestigious 
community of 153 manufacturing facilities and value chains that are 
implementing Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies to increase 
operational performance and environmental sustainability. Twenty-one 
facilities were given the designation this year, and DHL Supply Chain 
is the first ever contract logistics company to have a warehouse 
receive the award, and the only facility in the U.S. this year. The 
site has integrated robots, analytics and a flexible staffing solution 
to reduce overtime by 50 percent, and shipment cycle time by 57 
percent, while increasing capacity by 290 percent, DHL Supply Chain has 
54,000 employees in the United States, including more than 2,500 in 
Tennessee's 9th Congressional District. I commend the DHL Supply Chain 
operation in Memphis for this prestigious, international recognition by 
the World Economic Forum and appreciate its leadership in the logistics 
and delivery industry.
