                      Wednesday, November 19, 2003

  Mrs. MUSGRAVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
achievement of ConAgra Foods--Longmont Facility in Longmont, Colorado 
in the field of occupational safety and health. I also commend Ms. 
Stephanie Sparks, the Complex Safety & Health Manager for this 
facility, and her team for their continued excellence.
  Recently, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 
awarded this facility with the agency's approval as a Merit participant 
in the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). This exceptional facility 
joins fewer than 850 worksites under Federal jurisdiction that have 
received this prestigious award.
  To achieve important recognition, ConAgra has demonstrated an 
exemplary record of workplace safety and health, achieving injury and 
illness rates well below the industry average.
  ConAgra continually exceeds industry performance records and sets 
extremely high standards for their competition. I am very proud to 
represent such a commendable Colorado facility. Congratulations to 
ConAgra for another job well done.
