  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sparta, Inc on its 
twenty-fifth anniversary.
  Mr. Speaker, Sparta is an employee owned firm that provides world-
class technical products and services to the Defense, Aerospace, 
Intelligence, and Homeland Security Sectors of the Federal Government.
  Sparta began operations in 1979 in the Huntsville, Alabama home of 
Wayne Winton. Today, it has fourteen offices and approximately fourteen 
hundred employees across the Nation.
  In Alabama, Sparta works with the Space and Missile Defense Command's 
Future Warfare Center, Technical Center, and Technology Integration 
Center. By providing technical, programmatic, and acquisition support 
to many of SMDC's programs they make a significant contribution to our 
Nation's defense capabilities.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Sparta and all of their 
employees on twenty-five years of service to our military and our 
country. On behalf of the House of Representatives and everyone in 
North Alabama, I thank them for their commitment to the war fighter and 
the security of our Nation.
