                     CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF BROWN

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, what can brown do for 
you? You may be familiar with this phrase because it is the new UPS 
advertising slogan. During the past 100 years, UPS has done much for 
American workers and the American economy.
  Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, UPS employs more than 427,000 
people and is the world's largest package delivery company. It is 
incredible to know that this global behemoth began in Seattle, 
Washington, as a messenger service by a 19-year-old teenager who 
borrowed $100.
  Throughout 2007, UPS is celebrating its milestone 100th birthday by 
hosting employee events around the world. The celebration in more than 
55 U.S. cities will revolve around the arrival of a mobile centennial 
exhibit. I was pleased South Carolina's Second Congressional District 
had the opportunity to participate in UPS's success when the birthday 
celebration came to the Midlands, and Rich McArdle was introduced as 
the new district manager.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
