  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize the 
50th Anniversary of Electric Energy, Incorporated located in Joppa, 
Illinois. Electric Energy Incorporated has done an excellent job of 
providing energy to southern Illinois for the past fifty years.
  I am very proud to have Electric Energy, Incorporated located in the 
19th Congressional District of Illinois. Construction first began on 
the Electric Energy, Incorporated Joppa location on February 15, 1951. 
Since the first synchronization on April 10, 1953, Electric Energy, 
Incorporated has been producing coal generated energy to serve the 
needs of southern Illinois.
  I am proud to represent Electric Energy, Incorporated and to share in 
this special anniversary with them. I thank them for all they do to 
provide energy to southern Illinois and this great nation and wish them 
many successes in the years to come. Congratulations!
