     CONGRATULATIONS TO UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION TECHNICAL CENTER

  (Mr. WISE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WISE. Mr. Speaker, this is a noteworthy week in South Charleston, 
West Virginia, as Union Carbide Technical Center celebrates its 50th 
anniversary. As an innovator for Union Carbide's activities located 
worldwide, the Tech Center was located in April 1949 in the original 
research building. I want to congratulate Union Carbide's CEO, Dr. 
William Joyce, the employees and the retirees of the Technical Center, 
as we look forward to continuing a very productive working 
relationship.
  The Tech Center, in addition to being a highly profitable and 
decorated organization, has also been an excellent corporate citizen in 
its involvement as volunteers in the area and a good partner for the 
community.
  Since its location 50 years ago, the site has grown to approximately 
650 acres, and the technical center offers worldwide assistance to 
Union Carbide in its manufacturing businesses and research, development 
and engineering. It comes as no surprise that Union Carbide has won 
awards for three of its products and services primarily developed at 
the technical center.
  We want to congratulate again Union Carbide for being a good citizen 
and its 50th anniversary.
