                     CONGRATULATING BILL McINNISH 

  (Mr. HARIDOPOLOS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARIDOPOLOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bill 
McInnish for his outstanding contributions to education and workforce 
development at Eau Gallie High School in Melbourne, Florida, where he 
teaches aviation fabrication and assembly technology.
  His 27 years of technology and CTE teaching experience are best 
defined by his passion and dedication to helping students succeed in 
the aerospace industry. As a veteran of the Coast Guard, where he 
performed search and rescue missions, he established the first-ever 
aviation fabrication and assembly program in an economically 
disadvantaged high school.
  Under his leadership, this program became the first in the Nation to 
award high school students with the National Aerospace/Aircraft 
Assembly certification.
  It is with great pride that I recognize his exceptional achievements 
in building the local talent pipeline, with graduates securing 
positions at companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, United Launch 
Alliance, and others.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Bill for his incredible contribution to our 
district.
