                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 20, 2018

  Mr. MOULTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to note that 2018 marks The MITRE 
Corporation's 60th anniversary. MITRE is a not-for-profit company that 
operates seven federally-funded research and development centers. Its 
8,700 employees work in the public interest, free from commercial 
conflicts of interest, at two primary locations in Bedford, 
Massachusetts and McLean, Virginia, and at other sites around the 
world. MITRE's principal sponsors include the Department of Defense; 
the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services; the Department of the 
Treasury and the IRS; the Department of Veterans Affairs; the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology; the Federal Aviation 
Administration; the Department of Homeland Security, and the federal 
courts.
   The company's staff works on some of the most challenging technical 
problems facing our nation, performing analysis, planning and concept 
development; R&D engineering; and systems acquisition work. Since its 
earliest work to develop the nation's first air defense system, MITRE 
has generated countless innovations to address emerging threats, 
improve healthcare, defend cyberspace, secure our borders, ensure 
aviation safety, protect financial integrity, support our veterans, and 
more.
   I congratulate MITRE's employees for their vital work over six 
decades to solve problems for a safer world, and wish them continued 
success in the years to come.
