                     RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY (CART)

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an institution of

higher learning in my district, the University of North Texas and their 
Center for Advanced Research and Technology. This university's 
investment into research provides a unique opportunity to provide an 
incubator for interdisciplinary research with experimentation in 
material science, computer science and engineering. The university's 
goal is to provide the capabilities necessary to satisfy the growing 
technological and engineering needs of the north Texas region and for 
the talented faculty to advance research on projects of national 
importance associated with nanotechnology.
  The University of North Texas had the foresight to invest in this 
facility and has taken the first step to serve as the region's research 
arm for nanotechnology research and all of the promise that this new 
branch of science holds. Once the center is fully established, it will 
serve as a focal point for basic and applied research. It will be the 
first high-tech entrepreneurial research and development park in Denton 
County, one of the fastest growing communities in the United States.
  I invite my colleagues to join me in congratulating the University of 
North Texas in their quest to keep America on the cutting edge of 
research and development.
