  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to recognize and 
congratulate Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Lone Star, John Volpi, 
for being named Corporate CTO of the Year at this year's Tech Titans 
awards ceremony. John received this distinguished award in recognition 
for his outstanding contributions in the technology development 
industry.
  On Friday, August 24, 2012, the Metroplex Technology Business Council 
(MTBC), the largest technology trade association in Texas, hosted its 
12th annual Tech Titans gala. This black-tie affair was launched in 
2001 in order to recognize the accomplishments of outstanding tech 
companies and individuals throughout Texas. Each year leaders from more 
than 4,000 tech companies meet to celebrate the cutting edge 
achievements of the more than 10,000 corporations that are 
headquartered in North Texas, making the North Texas region the largest 
concentration of corporate headquarters in the U.S.
  A co-founder of Lone Star, John Volpi is responsible for managing the 
company's technical innovation resources. John has played a significant 
role in shaping Lone Star as a leader in next generation technology 
development within the defense and telecommunications industries, and 
has helped the company gain international recognition for its decision 
analysis and business modeling services.
  Throughout his career, John has spent over 40 years leading or 
providing critical support in

the development of groundbreaking technologies. ``This acknowledges a 
lifetime of excellence,'' said Lone Star CEO, Steve Roemerman. ``Our 
firm is recognized in business and technology decision support because 
of John's innovations in TruNavigator, the only 4th generation decision 
analysis toolset.''
  Mr. Speaker, I would ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating 
John Volpi, Chief Technology Officer of Lone Star, for his lifetime 
achievements. I wish him continued success as he continues to pioneer 
technology development around the country.
