       RECOGNITION TO ONE OF GEORGIA'S FINEST: COCA-COLA COMPANY

  Mr. MILLER. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the spirit 
of giving and compassion exhibited by one of the world's finest multi-
national companies, the Coca-Cola Company. Coke's employees and 
bottlers have


generously donated $12 million to the relief efforts ongoing in New 
York and Washington. It is not surprising to see that Coca-Cola is 
continuing its long tradition of supporting people in need.
  Approximately $6 million will be used to support the efforts of the 
Red Cross, which has been tireless in its dedication to the victims of 
this attack. The remaining $6 million will be channeled directly to 
local funds in New York and Washington to support humanitarian causes. 
It is fitting that a company so associated with America and the 
American spirit would come to the aid of our citizens in this difficult 
time.
  It is for this reason that I rise to honor the Coca-Cola Company for 
its charitable support. Their efforts deserve our applause and 
recognition.
