The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“MR. TOM CAMP'S 55 YEARS OF SAFE DRIVING FOR UPS” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E1350 on Oct. 10, 2017.
The Department handles nearly all infrastructure crisscrossing the country. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department should be privatized to save money, reduce congestion and spur innovation.

MR. TOM CAMP'S 55 YEARS OF SAFE DRIVING FOR UPS
______
HON. DAVID A. TROTT
of michigan
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, October 10, 2017
Mr. TROTT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Livonia, Michigan resident, Tom Camp on achieving 55 years of safe driving for the United Parcel Service (UPS).
Tom Camp is the first driver ever in UPS history to achieve 55 years of safe driving with no Department of Transportation reportable accidents during this period.
Having driven over a million miles and transported over 5 million packages, 77-year-old Marine Corps veteran Tom Camp is always on the lookout. He attributes his safe driving record to his keen sense of caution and awareness of the other drivers on the road.
We should all take note from Mr. Camp's advice, ``You just have to pay attention out there. You can't get distracted. Safety is No. 1.''
His dedication to safety is perhaps only rivaled by his passion for customer service. ``Anyone can deliver a package,'' he says. ``It's the person delivering the package that makes all the difference,'' and, since 1962, Mr. Camp has taken this to heart, brightening the days of so many of his neighbors.
I congratulate Mr. Camp on this record-breaking achievement and applaud him for serving as a role model of conscientious driving and safety. Here's to many more years of safe driving.
