  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize Prestolite Wire 
Corporation, the year 2000 recipient of the Georgia Oglethorpe award

small industry applicant to receive the state's highest honor.
  The Georgia Oglethorpe award is open to business, industry, 
government, education, healthcare, and non-profit organizations and is 
awarded for performance excellence.
  I would like to commend all the people of Prestolite Wire Corporation 
on their outstanding performance and operation that makes them the sole 
recipient of the award for the manufacturing, small industry category. 
This award should make everyone involved with Prestolite proud to be a 
part of a corporation to earn such a prestigious award.
