                           HON. ED PERLMUTTER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 23, 2015

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and applaud Lockheed 
Martin for their leadership and pioneer attitude within Jefferson 
County and our global economy.
   Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs 112,000 
people worldwide and is engaged in research, development, integration 
and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. 
Lockheed Martin Space Systems, headquartered in Jefferson County, is 
one of five Lockheed Martin business areas and has demonstrated 
significant and sustained growth to Jefferson County and Colorado's 
economic success.
   Most recently, Lockheed Martin and Jefferson County made history 
with NASA's Orion test launch on December 5, 2014. Orion is the next-
generation spacecraft designed to transport humans to destinations 
beyond low Earth orbit, going 15 times deeper into space than the 
International Space System at 3,600 miles from Earth.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Lockheed Martin for their 
well-deserved Pioneer Award. I know we will see great things from them 
in the future.
