  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure and pride that 
I rise today to recognize Mr. Sam Pack, owner and president of Sam Pack 
Auto Group. Mr. Pack has earned the recognition as one of the most 
prominent leaders in the American automotive industry in recent years.
   Mr. Pack has held various management positions with Ford Motor 
Company. In 1980, Mr. Pack became the president, general manager, and 
partner of Lee Jarmon Ford Inc. in Carrollton, TX. During Mr. Pack's 
tenure as a business executive, he has developed Sam Pack Auto Group 
into a nationally renowned and influential business.
   Throughout his professional career, Mr. Pack has always had a 
reputation of high customer satisfaction, owner loyalty, and leadership 
in the community. Mr. Pack was honored in 1988 by Time Magazine as the 
``Quality Dealer of the Year,'' which is the highest industry standard 
for new-car dealers who exhibit exceptional performance in their 
dealerships, combined with distinguished community service. The Texas 
Automobile Dealers Association bestowed Mr. Pack with the prestigious 
``Legends Awards'' in 2006, which makes him one of only nine dealers to 
receive this accolade.
   Mr. Pack is an active member in many civic service organizations. In 
1990, Mr. Pack was named ``Citizen of the Year'' by the Metrocrest 
Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Pack was also the recipient of the 2003 
``Award for Outstanding Community Service'' from Ford Motor Company. 
These achievements display Mr. Pack's community involvement and 
selfless service to others.
   On behalf of the 24th District of Texas, I would like to personally 
thank Mr. Pack for his diligent service and entrepreneurial spirit. Mr. 
Pack's civic and professional accomplishments have been numerous, and 
it is an honor for me to recognize him for his contributions to the 
people of 24th District of Texas. I ask all my colleagues to join me in 
wishing Mr. Pack many years of continued success.
