         SALUTING THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ZYGO CORPORATION
 Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 25th 
anniversary of an outstanding corporate citizen in my home state of 
Connecticut, the Zygo corporation. Since it's inception in 1970, Zygo 
has become one of the foremost manufacturers of measurement 
instrumentation products in the world. This achievement is the result 
of hard work, creativity, and a highly skilled workforce.
  I am proud that the State of Connecticut is home to so many talented 
and capable individuals. The high-tech, precision work done at Zygo and 
so many other companies in Connecticut is a testament to the quality 
workforce my State has to offer.
  I am pleased to congratulate Paul Forman, Carl Zanoni and Sol Laufer, 
founders of Zygo Corporation, on this important milestone. Their 
ingenuity, forsight and commitment to a quality product enabled them to 
follow their dreams and launch this firm in 1970. Today, they deserve 
commendation on their success.
  Zygo's reputation is well known throughout the country and the world. 
As our economy becomes increasingly high-tech, we need more companies 
like Zygo to provide leading edge products for a demanding market. The 
surface measuring instruments and precision surface manufacturing 
produced by Zygo contribute to a variety of products used world-wide 
every day.
  It is with great pride and admiration that I stand today to 
acknowledge the 25th anniversary of the Zygo Corporation and to wish 
this exceptional company continued success.
