                     MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY

  (Ms. KELLY of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, as Chicago's Museum of Science 
and Industry commemorates the 70th anniversary of the capture of the U-
505 submarine, I recognize the museum for offering world-class 
experiences that inspire children to achieve their full potential in 
science, technology, medicine, and engineering.
  The U-505 German submarine terrorized the Atlantic Ocean as part of a 
massive U-boat campaign that almost altered the outcome of World War 
II. On June 4, 1944, it was brought to the ocean's surface with a depth 
charge attack from the USS Chatelain, after which crew from the USS 
Pillsbury boarded the sub and helped Allied forces gain valuable 
defense intelligence that forever changed the course of world events.
  The U-505 exhibition is not only a memorial to the sailors who gave 
up their lives on the high seas, it is a reminder of the role that 
science and technology plays in keeping the world safe and changing 
history for the better. I thank the Museum of Science and Industry for 
molding the minds of the future while celebrating America's innovative 
past.
  In closing, I want to salute the students watching from the museum.
