  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 20th 
anniversary of the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology 
(MOST) in Syracuse, New York.
  What began as a vision of the National Council of Jewish Women 
Greater Syracuse Section, the Junior League of Syracuse, and the 
Technology Club, now exists as a permanent fixture for all to visit and 
enjoy. Dedicated to the exploration of science and technology through 
hands on participation, the MOST today boasts hundreds of exhibits, a 
domed IMAX theater, and a planetarium.

  During the past twenty years, the museum has welcomed more than two 
million visitors, provided educational programming for thousands of 
children, and encouraged individuals to pursue careers in science and 
technological fields. The MOST has enabled the Central New York 
community to embrace learning through its innovative science fairs, 
educational workshops, and collaborative efforts.
  Residents of Central New York and beyond can rest assured that by 
supporting the MOST, its vision to dispense knowledge and understanding 
will continue well into the future.
  On the occasion of its 20th anniversary to be celebrated on Thursday, 
November 15th, it is my honor to recognize the Milton J. Rubenstein 
Museum of Science and Technology and extend best wishes for many more 
successful years of providing knowledge to the youth and families of 
Central New York. Congratulations.
