                        Thursday, July 29, 2010

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to 
recognize Savage Precision Fabrication, Inc. of Wylie, Texas.
  Founded by W.T. and JoAnn Gardner in 1975, and still run by the 
couple today, Savage Precision has been named the 2010 Subcontractor of 
the Year by the United States Small Business Administration, SBA. This 
is the fourth time that the company has earned a prestigious 
designation from the SBA.
  As a top-notch manufacturer of precision-machined and sheet metal 
components, Savage serves a number of major aerospace and defense 
contractors, as well as high-tech corporations. In fact, the company 
proudly supplies F-35 Joint Strike Fighter parts to Lockheed-Martin, 
playing a crucial support role for our Armed Forces.
  Service to country has always been a priority at Savage Precision. 
The company's founder and CEO, W.T. Gardner, is a United States Army 
veteran. He and JoAnn grew their company through their belief in the 
American principles of honesty, loyalty, and hard work. From the moment 
they opened the doors of Savage Precision, the couple's company motto 
was, ``If it doesn't work, you don't have to pay me.'' That's fair, 
that's right, and that's true commitment to excellence.
  As the company continues to excel, I am honored to congratulate the 
Gardners and the many outstanding employees of Savage Precision 
Fabrication, Inc. The award-winning title you've received from the 
Small Business Administration this year is hard-earned and well-
deserved.
  God bless you, and I salute you.
