                      Thursday, December 13, 2001

  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to 
recognize the recent winner of the National Defense Industrial 
Association's John J. Jones Award for Outstanding Contributions to our 
National Defense, Mr. Harold L. ``Spike'' Yoh.
  Under the leadership of Spike Yoh, Day & Zimmermann, Inc. has made 
and continues to make significant and exceptional contributions to our 
national security. Among these, Day & Zimmermann established new safety 
and production standards for the munitions industry, and provided vital 
support for our efforts during the Gulf War.
  Spike Yoh's contribution to the United States extends to our economy 
and community, as well. Under his guidance, Day & Zimmermann grew 1000 
percent and now employs over 24,000 personnel, performing $1.5 billion 
in professional services for clients in 45 states and 15 countries. 
Though most prominent for its engineering and plant operation services, 
Day & Zimmermann also oversees 25 subsidiaries providing construction 
management, technical personnel, security, clerical, marine 
transportation, maintenance, defense systems, and information services.
  Through all this, Spike has maintained a standard of excellence that 
places Day & Zimmermann once again in a position to support our troops 
as we wage war on terrorism. In addition, his legacy of generosity and 
community service is an example to all of what our citizenship demands. 
During this dangerous and uncertain time, when our future depends on 
our continued vigilance and ability to serve, Spike Yoh stands as a 
leader, giving us confidence that we can skillfully weather the 
challenges ahead.
