                         HONORING GEORGE ADAMS

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Anaheim's very own 
George Adams for his remarkable career that transformed the recycling 
industry in the United States.
  After inheriting his dad's modest scrap metal facility, George grew 
it into the largest metal recycling company in the United States. He 
has created 4,000 jobs and processes over 5 million tons of recycled 
material each year.

  What makes George such a great businessman? He is a human, and he 
cares.
  Before he was big, I remember he had the place that you would go to 
sell your recyclables, with the best price on metal. Not only that, I 
remember taco Fridays. You come to sell your metal at George's place, 
and you got free tacos, all you could eat.
  I have got to tell you, he is a man with a heart and a man with 
business acumen. I congratulate George Adams. I say, keep up the good 
work. He is saving the Earth while he is doing it. He is doing a great 
job keeping our environment clean.
