  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize KLA 
Corporation and celebrate the groundbreaking of its new campus in Ann 
Arbor.
  KLA Corporation (KLA) is a leader in process control and yield 
management systems for the semiconductor industry and other related 
nanoelectronics industries. KLA develops equipment and services that 
facilitate innovation and tackle the world's toughest technical 
challenges. With 18 global locations and over 10,000 employees 
worldwide, KLA's vision hinges on collaboration, as working side by 
side diversifies perspectives and leads to maximized discovery and 
solutions. In addition, KLA invests significantly in research and 
development, continually striving to find new ways to drive progress 
and transform the industry.
  The opening of KLA's second headquarters in Ann Arbor exemplifies the 
corporation's continued commitment to innovation, research, and 
technological advancement. The new R&D center will be home to 600 
engineers, scientists, and professionals from our community and will 
spur future partnerships with institutions throughout Southeast 
Michigan, especially within our automotive industry. Furthermore, KLA's 
new campus will strengthen the corporation's relationship with the 
University of Michigan and enhance opportunities for technical 
collaborations with students in the College of Engineering. As a leader 
in the sciences, I am excited to welcome KLA into our driven Ann Arbor 
community.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the 
opening of KLA's new headquarters in Ann Arbor. I look forward to its 
positive impact on our Southeast Michigan community and wish the 
corporation continued success in the years ahead.
