                   BREWER SCIENCE'S 30TH ANNIVERSARY

 Mrs. McCASKILL. Mr. President, I honor the 30th anniversary of 
Brewer Science, an innovative, high-technology company from Rolla, MO.
  When Brewer Science was started by Dr. Terry and Paula Brewer in 
1981, it had only three employees. Like so many small businesses in our 
country, the company has grown and expanded because of its commitment 
to hard work, innovative solutions and exceptional service for its 
customers. From humble beginnings, the company has grown today to 263 
employees working globally to bring groundbreaking technology to 
companies worldwide.
  Brewer Science is best known in the microelectronics industry for 
introducing ARC brand bottom antireflecting coatings in 1981 to 
microchip makers. In the past 30 years, they have expanded their 
portfolio to include optoelectronic coatings, protective coatings, 
bonding processes and nanotechnology products, which enable the 
manufacturing of advanced integrated circuits, sensors and displays 
throughout the world.
  As Brewer Science has continued to grow, their vision and philosophy 
have remained consistent. The milestone that I ask us to honor today is 
a tribute to this vision.
  Brewer Science has translated their success in business into a better 
community for Missourians. Brewer Science has had a positive impact on 
its community through service, volunteering, and donations to various 
arts, educational and environment programs.
  Brewer Science's passion for providing dedicated service and their 
emphasis on innovation serve as an inspiration for all Missourians. 
Their achievements deserve the highest commemoration.
  Mr. President, I ask that the Senate join me in recognizing the 30th 
anniversary of Brewer Science.
