                     Wednesday, September 23, 2009

  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate and to honor Environmental Tectonics Corporation on their 
40th anniversary. Through innovation and determination, ETC continues 
to help our local economy grow and prosper, with new jobs, despite the 
tough economic times.
  ETC has been a leader in simulation technologies, from creating 
entertaining simulation safari rides for amusement parks, to their 
state of the art aerospace training simulators. Their simulators have 
prepared civilian and military personnel for real life emergency 
situations, while keeping our heroes out of harm's way. They have saved 
countless lives by using the most technologically advanced training 
systems available anywhere in the world.
  Starting with their partnership with United States Navy in 1971 
creating rapid high-altitude decompression chambers and eventually 
evolving into the leading provider of aerospace simulation training, 
ETC is a world leader and today I am honored to recognize them on 40 
years of exemplary work.
  Madam Speaker, ETC has provided training to make the world a safer 
place and created jobs to spur the local economy. They are a welcome 
example of a civic minded corporation, dedicated to our national 
security. I highly value their commitment to our community, and I am 
proud to work with them as they develop cutting-edge technology to 
serve our nations best and brightest.
