         TRIBUTE TO THE WORKERS AT THE OCEAN SPRAY NEVADA PLANT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 2, 2003

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the workers at the 
Ocean Spray Nevada plant for completing 1 million bottling hours 
without a single accident. This singular feat has been accomplished 
through the dedication and skill of every man and woman in the plant. 
One million hours equals 25,000 40-hour work weeks, and is a nearly 
impossible feat to accomplish. Every manufacturing plant in the United 
States and overseas can learn from the example provided by Plant 
Manager Paul Altmier and his entire team.
  The Ocean Spray plant, located in Henderson, NV, was completed 9 
years ago and employs roughly 200 people. This plant provides the 
western United States with cranberry juice and other beverages. I am 
honored to represent the workers at the plant on this occasion and look 
forward to their continued accomplishments in safety and excellence.
