By Rep. Preyer
Additional recognition for
Fieldcrest Mills’ leadership in
the national SavEnergy
program has come from 6th
District Congressman
Richardson Preyer.
In a letter to William C. Battle,
president of Fieldcrest Mills,
Inc., Rep. Preyer wrote:
“Congratulations on your
SavEnergy citation, and for the
example you and your
associates are setting for the
corporate community in
responding to our energy
problems.”
Fieldcrest recently received a
certificate from the U.S. govern
ment for the company’s efforts
in the nation-wide energy
conservation program. The
citation was based on the
successful 15-point program of
energy conservation in effect at
all of the 26 plant locations with a
company-wide goal of a 10
percent reduction in energy
usage and no curtailment of
production.
The SavEnergy citation
received by the Company was
accompanied by congratulatory
letters from Frederick B. Dent,
U.S. Secretary of Commerce,
and Frederick C. Farmer,
acting director of the U.S.
Department of Commerce,
Domestic and International
Business Administration,
district office, in Greensboro.
