  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in tribute to the men and women 
of Lockheed Martin Plant in Syracuse, New York, which was recognized as 
one of the top ten plants in the United States by Industry Week 
magazine.
  IndustryWeek looks to reward plants that are leading the nation in 
their efforts to develop competitiveness, increased customer 
satisfaction and an outstanding work environment. The 2,039 men and 
women employed at this Lockheed Martin plant were recognized for their 
accomplishments of $650 million in sales and $1.0 billion in backlog. 
Among these employees are 1,250 scientists and engineers and 350 
manufacturing and support staff. The payroll for this honored Lockheed 
Martin plant in Syracuse is greater than $108 million per year and has 
been in operation since 1948.
  I would like to express my congratulations to the employees of the 
Lockheed Martin plant in Syracuse for receiving such an outstanding 
honor. They work very hard and deserve such recognition. I offer them 
my sincere congratulations.

                          ____________________
