               HONORING LYNDA MINTER OF NUCOR STEEL-TEXAS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JEB HENSARLING

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 20, 2004

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, the success of American companies is 
usually measured by market share, the strength of the balance sheet and 
the quality of goods and services that they produce. But many times, we 
can also look to the quality of a company's employees to find the true 
secret to their success.
  Nucor Steel-Texas, which is located in Jewett, Texas, in the Fifth 
Congressional District, is a major economic driver in Leon County and 
the state of Texas. For almost 24 years, Lynda Minter has served Nucor 
Steel-Texas and will soon retire as Controller. Lynda's colleagues have 
told me that Nucor Steel-Texas' success is inseparable from her legacy 
of careful financial management and her superb relations with 
employees, Nucor leadership and with state and local community leaders.
  Lynda has been characterized by her co-workers as a pillar of the 
mill's success, and those who know her best have testified that her 
kind manner, deep understanding of Nucor's business and fair dealing 
have been instrumental in Nucor Steel-Texas' continued growth and 
achievement. Her colleagues tell me that Lynda has offered Nucor Steel-
Texas a steady hand, a keen intellect and a long-term devotion to 
service for over two decades.
  I want to take this opportunity to recognize the contributions of 
Lynda Minter, and I want to wish Lynda all the best as she embarks on 
this new phase of her life.
