                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 20, 2018

  Mr. BEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate The MITRE 
Corporation on its 60th anniversary this year.
  MITRE is a not-for-profit corporation whose mission is to solve 
problems for a safer world. The company operates seven federally-funded 
research and development centers, each of which is sponsored by one or 
more federal agencies. MITRE works in the public interest, free from 
commercial conflicts of interest. The company's roughly 8,700 employees 
are located at its two primary locations in McLean, Virginia and 
Bedford, Massachusetts, as well as at other sites across the country 
and overseas. MITRE's employees support their federal sponsors across a 
full spectrum of analysis, planning and concept development; research 
and development; engineering; and systems acquisition work. They focus 
on some of the most challenging technical problems facing our nation--
work that requires intimate knowledge of their federal sponsors' 
operating landscapes, demands objective analysis, and often involves 
sensitive or proprietary government and industry data.
  MITRE has made immense contributions to our nation's security and 
safety over the last 60 years. I congratulate its leadership and staff 
and wish them many more years of success.
