LINCOLN DAVIS PRESENTED CHAMBER'S 'SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE'April 18, 2007

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce presented Rep. Lincoln Davis with its "Spirit of Enterprise" award for his strong support of critical business issues during the 109th Congress.

"Rep. Davis proved to be a valuable ally to the business community last year, supporting measures to stimulate job creation and spur economic growth," said Tom Donohue, Chamber president and CEO. "The business community appreciates Lincoln's dedication to a pro-growth agenda and we are proud to present him with this award."

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. Senators and House members who support the Chamber's position on at least 70% of these key votes receive the "Spirit of Enterprise" award. Davis compiled a 93% score with the Chamber last year and holds a cumulative 82% ranking during his tenure in Congress.

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.
