Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate U.S. Bancorp on being recently named the World's Most Admired Superregional Bank by Fortune Magazine. This is the seventh consecutive year they have received this honor, which is no small feat by any means. U.S. Bancorp has also been recognized by Fortune Magazine for ranking among the top ten companies spanning across all industries for upholding four of Fortune's nine key characteristics of reputation. The characteristics that U.S. Bancorp has maintained include: quality of management, long-term investment value, use of corporate assets, and financial soundness. Minnesotans can be proud of a Minnesota-based company that ranks as one of the world's best performers. This honor is undoubtedly due to the excellent work of the employees, as well as the extraordinary vision and leadership of those who run this fine company. Congratulations on your incredible accomplishment. Recognizing Thrivent Financial for Helping Minnesotans Acquire Homes
