  Ms. TSONGAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 275th 
anniversary of the founding of the Town of Tewksbury, Massachusetts.
  From its inception, Tewksbury has contributed to the rich history of 
Massachusetts and the country. Tewksbury began as a small collection of 
farms that now exist alongside the technological powerhouses of the new 
millennium. Businesses that call Tewksbury home conduct cutting edge 
research in the areas of energy, defense, digital entertainment, and 
medicine. From the American Revolution through the industrial 
revolution and now the information technology revolution, Tewksbury has 
emerged as a successful, innovative, and vibrant community.
  I am proud to honor Tewksbury's 275th anniversary, and I urge my 
colleagues to join me in wishing the people of Tewksbury another 275 
years of innovation and success.
