                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 29, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to 
Mr. Robert Snyder on the occasion of his promotion from the United 
Parcel Service (UPS) Public Affairs office in Washington, DC to the 
company's Corporate E-Ventures division in Atlanta, Georgia.
  Mr. Snyder began his career with UPS 20 years ago as a project 
engineer in the southeast region of the United States. In 1997, he was 
promoted to the public affairs office in Washington, DC where he was 
responsible for working with Members of Congress on legislative 
priorities that would affect the freight industry. At the same time, he 
oversaw UPS's worldwide environmental program and the development of 
more than 20 facilities across the country. In this capacity, he helped 
engineer the industry's first recyclable envelope, a product providing 
economic benefit to UPS and an environmental benefit to the world 
community.
  Part of UPS's global network of trade includes the use of Ontario 
International Airport in Ontario, California, part of the district I 
represent. With Mr. Snyder's leadership, the company has expanded its 
use of the facility, transforming it to the company's western gateway 
to the world.
  Mr. Snyder has been a good friend to many in Washington, DC, 
including my office. Today, I acknowledge his commitment and 
achievements and sincerely wish him and his family prosperity and 
success in the future.
