  Mr. STEARNS. Mr. Speaker, the Theta Tau Professional Engineering 
Fraternity was founded at the University of Minnesota in 1904 and is 
the largest, as well as the oldest, professional engineering 
fraternity. Theta Tau's purpose is to develop and maintain a high 
standard of professional interest among its members, and to unite them 
in a strong fraternal fellowship. Over the past one hundred years, 
Theta Tau has initiated 30,000 members into a lifetime of brotherhood 
and 83 have been inducted into the Theta Tau Alumni Hall of Fame for 
contributions to the Fraternity, and their profession.
  I am honored to be one of the brothers of Theta Tau Professional 
Engineering Fraternity. This year we are celebrating our Fraternity's 
Centennial Anniversary. I would like to congratulate all my brothers of 
the Theta Tau fraternity, and the fraternity itself for being truly, 
the Nation's oldest, and still foremost Fraternity for Engineers.
