                     CONGRATULATING INGERSOLL RAND

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, last month, Ingersoll Rand, a global leader in 
products that enhance energy efficiency, productivity, and operations 
for its customers, celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Mocksville, 
North Carolina, plant.
  Opened in 1965, the Mocksville plant began machining rotary 
components for air compressors. Throughout the years, the workers in 
Mocksville have manufactured assemblies and components for a number of 
products within Ingersoll Rand's portfolio.
  Within the last 6 years, the plant has experienced tremendous growth 
as select assembly operations for Trane and Thermo King equipment were 
moved to the plant. During difficult economic times, these jobs have 
strengthened the local economy.
  The company's major investment in Davie County is a tribute to the 
area's skilled workforce, men and women who are dedicated to producing 
the best products in the world.
  Congratulations to everyone at Ingersoll Rand in Mocksville as you 
celebrate this significant milestone.
