                      TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY'S CAR WASH

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to and 
congratulate Jeff Simpson, owner of Johnny's Car Wash in Erlanger, KY, 
on their 50th year in business.
  In 1959, John Simpson, father of Jeff Simpson, converted the original 
Town Car Wash, an establishment in Covington, KY, where cars were 
washed by hand, to an automatic car wash he named Johnny's Car Wash. 
Mr. Simpson opened a second location in Erlanger, KY, that still 
thrives today. Nearly four decades later, in 1992, Mr. Simpson sold his 
original Johnny's Car Wash to his son Jeff, and this year they 
celebrate 50 years of hard work, ambition, and the long success of 
their business.
  A hearty congratulations to the Simpson family and Johnny's Car Wash. 
They are an excellent example of a steady and thriving small business 
in the Commonwealth.
