                           HON. MIMI WALTERS

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 26, 2016

  Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of myself and 
Representative Darrell Issa, I congratulate Saddleback College on its 
new Sciences Building, a 52,897 square foot state-of-the-art facility 
designed to encourage research and innovation.
  Under the leadership of Dr. Tod A. Burnett, 23 full-time faculty, 41 
part-time faculty, and 11 staff members will support Saddleback's 
science programs, which include a record enrollment of more than 3,000 
students this year.
  The building's lobby features an Albert Einstein quote: ``We cannot 
solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.'' 
This exemplifies the innovative approach to learning the building will 
facilitate.
  A well-educated, well-trained workforce is essential to keeping the 
United States competitive on a global stage. Saddleback College's new 
facility will serve Californians well as the need for employees 
educated in the STEM fields continues to grow.
  We congratulate Saddleback College on its new Sciences Building, and 
we look forward to seeing its students' contributions to the community.
