Whereas Nucor is the largest steel and steel product producer in the United States and a global leader in steel making sustainability. They are the largest recycler of any type of material in North America. they recycle over 20 million tons of ferrous scrap metal annually to produce new steel that is 100 recyclable their gas greenhouse gas intensity is less than one-fourth of the global steel making average since 1987 their first steel mill opened in arkansas operating five facilities currently in arkansas new core yamato steel new core steel new core coatings new core skyline Armarelle, and those are in Mississippi County and in Centria in Grant County currently.

They reinforce their culture through the 10% earnings and profit sharing for all the Nucor teammates in addition to their salary. Today I'm honored to be joined in the well with Nucor leadership, Miss Whitney Williams, Mr. Mike Knapp, and Mr. Mike Stover. Nucor is the Western Hemisphere's largest bean producers. Arkansas steel can be found in iconic American structures throughout the United States, One World Trade Center, the home of the Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium, and the University of Arkansas Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

They participate in student reading program. They support several non-profit organizations in our community. They do back-to-school events.

Representative Painter, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Colleagues, just wanted to bring awareness to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis month, or ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. Unfortunately, I have a constituent in my district that is suffering from ALS disease and wanted to bring attention to this matter. Typically, it affects people between the ages of 40 and 60 years old, with death often occurring two to five years within diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is no cure. The ALS Association has committed $162 million to help find a cure in the United States and across the world. Mr. Lyons, we see you, we hear you, we are praying for you, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Madam Speaker, please have the clerk read the resolution and title only. Madam
