                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize Essner 
Manufacturing and its achievement of being registered as an AS 9100 
Quality Management Standard (QMS)--a designation specific to aerospace 
component manufacturers. This project took nearly 200 hours to complete 
and was a complex undertaking.
  Working alongside Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center (TMAC) to 
earn the registration, Essner is a model for other manufacturing 
centers. Their commitment to making quality products like precision 
sheet metal fabrications and machined parts is evident. I extend my 
congratulations to Dale R. Westerfeld, President of Essner and Dave 
Johnson, the TMAC Project Manager.
  I am proud to represent a company that is so strongly committed to 
quality products and a positive work environment. I congratulate Essner 
Manufacturing and wish them continued success in their future 
endeavors.
