                 RECOGNIZING THE JOHN S. JAMES COMPANY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
John S. James Company in Savannah, Georgia, for receiving an ``E'' 
award from the United States Department of Commerce.
  The ``E'' award is the highest honor the United States Government can 
give to an American exporter. The prestigious award was created by 
President Kennedy in 1961 as a way to distinguish companies who achieve 
excellence in exporting United States goods and products.
  This award was presented by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to the 
John S. James Company on May 16, 2016, during World Trade Week. Founded 
in 1941, the John S. James Company has excelled in international 
freight forwarding, customs brokerage industries, transportation 
services, and cargo insurance. The company has expanded

into six locations across the Southeastern United States and provides 
shipping services across the globe.
  The John S. James Company is a great example of American success in 
the international market. I am very proud of this company in the First 
Congressional District of Georgia, and I wish them all the best in 
their future.
