                  A TRIBUTE TO THE ORKAND CORPORATION

                                 ______


                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 22, 1995
  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the Orkand Corp., 
with headquarters in Silver Spring, MD, on the occasion of the 
company's 25th anniversary. Over the past quarter of a century, Orkand 
has grown from 2 to 2000 employees and is a leader in the high 
technology market.
  The company has a long history of service to the Federal Government. 
More recently, the Orkand Corp. has begun serving the private sector, 
most notably healthcare researchers. The company has enhanced the 
critical work performed by several Federal agencies, including the 
Departments of Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, State, the 
U.S. Postal Service and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  [[Page E671]] The Company's founder and president, Dr. Donald S. 
Orkand, is an individualist, a man who believes in equal opportunity 
for all men and women. On the occasion of the company's milestone 
anniversary, Dr. Orkand has taken the opportunity to reflect on the 
accomplishments of the past and to launch his company's plans to 
deliver its unique brand of client-centered information into the 21st 
century. I am proud to pay tribute to the Orkand Corp., and I am 
honored to add my voice to the praises of the many friends and 
colleagues who gather to salute Dr. Donald Orkand and his outstanding 
company.
