                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                      Tuesday, September 13, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Tom 
Engibous, this year's recipient of the American Electronics 
Association's Medal of Achievement Award.
  Since 1959, the Medal of Achievement has been presented annually for 
significant contributions to the advancement of the high-tech industry 
and for distinguished service to the community, the industry and 
humankind. Mr. Engibous is fortunate enough to join the select group of 
high-tech leaders who have received this honor by becoming the fifty-
first recipient of the coveted award.
  Tom Engibous is the chairman, president and chief executive officer 
of Texas Instruments Incorporated. While serving in previous roles at 
TI, Mr. Engibous helped transform the company from a broad-based 
conglomerate to a semiconductor company. His strategic focus and 
ability to quickly execute on the elements needed to reconfigure the 
company laid the foundation for the TI of today--a semiconductor leader 
in signal processing technology that has gained widespread recognition 
among customers, the financial community and the general public.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Mr. Tom Engibous for receiving 
the highest award given by the American Electronics Association. His 
contributions to the technology industry and service to the community 
should inspire us all.
