U.S. Chamber of Commerce Presents "Spirit of Enterprise" to Congressman DavisFebruary 26, 2004

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce today presented U.S. Rep. Lincoln Davis with its 2004 Spirit of Enterprise award for his strong support for its pro-business legislative agenda in the first session of the 108th Congress.

"There are many businesses in my district, which includes but is not limited to dry good stores, saw mills, farms, aerospace contractors, and country stores," Davis said. "These diverse and important businesses always have and will continue to have a major impact on how I make decisions concerning business and economic development issues that affect my district and America."

The Chamber awards the Spirit of Enterprise based on rankings it gives members of Congress for key business votes set out in its annual publication How They Voted. Chamber-designated key votes are recorded floor votes on issues established as priorities by the Chamber's board of directors and on which the Chamber communicates it position prior to the vote.

"Lincoln Davis is a leader who time and again has supported legislation to create jobs, increase productivity, and strengthen our nation's recovering economy," Chamber President and CEO, Thomas Donohue said.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business federation, representing more than three million businesses and organizations of every size, sector and region.
