   RECOGNIZING THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF PURDUE UNIVERSITY ENGINEERING

  Mr. BRAUN. Mr. President, I rise today to celebrate 150 years of 
Purdue engineering. Purdue engineering produces more than 5 percent of 
our engineering students in the country. Engineering alumni from Purdue 
have distinguished themselves for 150 years around the world and even 
on the moon. The first and most recent men to walk on the moon--Neil 
Armstrong and Gene Cernan--were both Purdue engineering alumni.
  Purdue engineers have been behind many other great leaps for mankind. 
Some of the greatest wonders of engineering here in the United States 
are byproducts of Purdue engineers, such as the Golden Gate Bridge. 
Purdue engineering touches every aspect of our
