                        Thursday, March 18, 2010

  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
pay tribute to a fine American, Ed Pace, on an occasion when he and his 
business have received the International Circle of Excellence Award for 
2009.
  His business, Lake City Trucks, is headquartered in Salt Lake City, 
Utah, and has grown from two locations to one of the largest 
International truck dealers in North America today. His entrepreneurial 
leadership has helped Lake City Trucks to expand to 11 locations across 
three states with 305 employees in Utah, Idaho and Oregon. Ed began his 
career with International Harvester in 1971 and served in several 
capacities before purchasing his first International dealership in 
1991.
  Ed has achieved recognition through many years of hard work and 
service to his industry and community. As an industry leader, Ed has 
held numerous positions of responsibility in organizations, including 
former chairman of the International Dealer Council and former co-chair 
of the International Dealer Development and Systems Board. He is active 
in his community, where he supports a variety of charities, including 
the Barth Syndrome Foundation, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of 
Utah and Idaho, Toys for Tots, the Christmas Tree Auction and the Food 
Banks of Utah and Idaho.
  Through his commitment to hard work and outstanding customer service, 
he has built an economically vital business of which he can be justly 
proud. Madam Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join with me in 
congratulating Ed Pace for his record of accomplishment and for his 
many contributions to his community, state and nation.
