              COMMEMORATING TENNESSEE APPAREL CORPORATION

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to commemorate the long-
standing commitment of the Tennessee Apparel Corporation to the people 
of Waynesboro and Tullahoma, Tennessee.
  From this company's earliest days in 1901 when it was known as the 
Sanders Manufacturing Company through its 100-year anniversary and 
beyond, the Tennessee Apparel Corporation has been at the forefront of 
supplying our troops with the clothing they need. From dress uniforms 
to cold-weather gear, Tennessee Apparel has been there for our American 
fighting men and women. In the last 100 years, they produced nearly 50 
million military items. With approximately 480 employees in middle 
Tennessee, the Tennessee Apparel Corporation provides a tremendous 
service to our State and our Nation. God's blessing on these fine men 
and women.
