                     PAIGE SECURITY SERVICES, INC.

  (Mr. FARR of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FARR of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on a good news note 
to honor the accomplishments of a constituent of mine, Mr. Leonard 
Paige.
  In November 1998, Mr. Paige realized his lifelong dream to make a 
difference in Africa with the signing ceremony of the first joint 
venture between a black-owned security firm in the United States and a 
black-owned security firm in South Africa.
  The United States firm, Paige's Security Services, Inc., will 
facilitate the training and logistics for Paige's Security Services, 
Inc., in South Africa in a manner modeled upon the affirmative action 
programs here in the United States. The program is intended to assist 
the disadvantaged in that community.
  Under Mr. Paige's able leadership, Paige Security Services, Inc., has 
garnered great recognition over its 10 years of service. It has been 
selected for three straight years by Inc. Magazine as one of the 
fastest growing private firms in the Nation and has been commended by 
Congress and the President of the United States.
  Paige's Security Services, Inc., employs over 800 workers in the 
United States and Costa Rica, and the new affiliate in South Africa 
employs 300 people.
  Thank you, Leonard Paige, for your leadership.
