                         Tuesday, June 10, 2014

  Mr. WESTMORELAND. Mr. Speaker, I come before you today to recognize 
addition of the 2015 Viking VI Side-By-Side production at Yamaha Motors 
Manufacturing plant in Newnan, Georgia. This is a momentous occasion 
for Yamaha Motors and for Georgia, as Newnan is home to the Yamaha 
Motor Manufacturing Corporation facility.
  Since 1986, Yamaha Motors has helped to grow Georgia's economy with 
quality manufacturing, more jobs, and a deep commitment to improving 
our community. Their production keeps over 1,350 Georgians employed and 
are expected to add over 300 additional jobs over the next few years. 
Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation's continued success led to a 
$250 million investment over the last thirteen years, making Newnan, 
Georgia Yamaha's worldwide hub for ATV/SxS production and distribution.
  Yamaha's achievements showcase how great Georgia is for manufacturing 
and business, and I thank them for their commitment to improving our 
district and state's economy. I am honored that the Yamaha Motor 
Manufacturing Corporation calls Georgia's Third District home and look 
forward to sharing many more milestones with them in the future.
