                 CONGRATULATING UNITED LAUNCH ALLIANCE

  (Mr. BROOKS of Alabama asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROOKS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate the 852 
employees of United Launch Alliance in Decatur, Alabama, for their hard 
work and commitment both to their jobs and to America. Because of their 
dedication, when using United Launch Alliance, America has secure 
access to space 100 percent of the time.
  Two days ago, on September 18, 2013, ULA completed their 75th 
successful launch using an Atlas V rocket at Cape Canaveral. This was 
ULA's fourth launch in 2 months, ninth launch this year, and 40th 
successful launch of the Atlas V rocket.
  Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the United Launch Alliance workers 
of Decatur for their achievement that embodies American exceptionalism. 
It is an honor to represent them in Congress.
