               CELEBRATING BRIDGESTONE'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, Bridgestone, one of the 
largest industrial employers in Wilson County, North Carolina, is 
celebrating 50 years.
  The facility manufactures passenger and light-truck tires. There are 
1,900 employees at this site. The facility is rated number one globally 
in 19-inch tire production. It has received several certifications and 
awards, including the Rising Star in the North Carolina Department of 
Labor's Carolina Star Program and the International Sustainability and 
Carbon Certification PLUS.
  Eastern North Carolina is most grateful to each of the hardworking 
team members at this essential facility.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Bridgestone on a job well done in 
reaching this remarkable milestone. I wish them a happy 50th 
anniversary.
