      CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FRITO-LAY, TECHNOLOGY PROCESS CENTER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. KENNY MARCHANT

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 19, 2005

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Frito-Lay, Technology Process Center in Dallas, Texas, 
for outstanding achievement in the field of occupational safety and 
health.
  The tremendous efforts on behalf of the entire workforce have 
resulted in the center's approval to the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration's Volunteer Protection Programs at the Star Level. 
Frito-Lay, Technology Process Center has now been a VPP participant for 
5 years.
  Since 1982, OSHA has recognized American worksites that have 
exceptional records and exemplify commitment to workplace safety and 
health. Less than 1,000 worksites under Federal jurisdiction currently 
share this distinction. Sites meeting VPP's demanding requirements 
typically experience injury and illness rates 53 percent below the 
industry average.
  It is my pleasure to commend the men and woman of Frito-Lay, 
Technology Process Center for being approved once again as a VPP 
participant. Their dedication to workplace safety and health deserves 
to be recognized.
