       TRIBUTE TO PREISER SCIENTIFIC OF ST. ALBANS, WEST VIRGINIA

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO

                            of west virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 6, 2003

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Preiser Scientific 
of St. Albans, West Virginia for being awarded a 2003 Export 
Achievement Certificate in recognition of an increased focus on 
exporting.
  The Export Achievement Certificate was created to recognize small and 
medium-sized enterprises that have successfully entered the 
international marketplace for the first time or that have successfully 
entered a new market.
  As our economy continues to become more global, it is important for 
industries of all types to develop relationships and ties in the 
international community. As the West Virginia economy diversifies, 
Preiser Scientific has taken major steps forward to promote the 
Mountain State and all it has to offer to the world economy.
  By making strides to expand opportunities, Preiser Scientific has in 
turn brought benefits to the state that will be felt far beyond the 
business itself. I applaud Preiser Scientific for its efforts and look 
forward to seeing continued success.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognition of 
Preiser Scientific, and I offer them as an example to small and medium 
sized enterprises everywhere.
