                       Tuesday, February 4, 2014

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Draper Inc. in 
Spiceland on being named America's Healthiest Workplace by Healthiest 
Employers, a leader in corporate wellness and health analytics.
  This company, in my home district, was ranked first place among 100 
national finalists. The prestigious award included a year-long 
selection process and involved companies of all sizes and industries.
  Draper established a safety and wellness committee to raise awareness 
of the stressors that drive unhealthy habits. That committee has 
increased its capacity to giving Draper employees the tools to succeed. 
The committee members volunteer their time to plan, organize, and run 
wellness events.
  Draper is an example of a company rallying around physical activity 
and healthy living to improve an entire community's quality of life.
  As members of Congress, we need to continue to promote and encourage 
health and overall wellness in our communities. In turn, our wellness 
initiatives will encourage a healthier American people.
