                   RECOGNIZING MICHELIN NORTH AMERICA

 Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Michelin North America on its 50th anniversary of 
operating in South Carolina and 35 years of being headquartered in 
Greenville, SC.
  Michelin produced its first tire in South Carolina in 1975 and now 
employs 10,000 people across 15 facilities throughout the State. As a 
global leader in producing tires, Michelin has significantly 
contributed to the community and the region, generating an economic 
impact of $266 billion. Michelin has provided steady employment for 
many of the most talented workers in our State, providing thousands of 
jobs and, in many cases, lifelong careers.
  Again, congratulations to Michelin and its employees on celebrating 
50 years in the great State of South Carolina.
