  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Burns & McDonnell, 
an employee-owned consulting firm with locations in Downers Grove and 
Chicago. Burns & McDonnell, which serves my constituents in the Sixth 
District, has been recognized as being not only one of the best places 
to work in the state of Illinois, but also in the nation.
  Since opening in 1994, the professionals at Burns & McDonnell have 
offered a full range of engineering, architecture, construction, 
environmental and consulting services. Their clients include 
government, industry, utility and institutional organizations. Burns & 
McDonnell have been involved with many major projects around the 
Chicagoland area such as the Illinois Tollway, O'Hare International 
Airport, and countless others.
  With over 160 employees in their local offices, Burns & McDonnell 
ranked 14th in Fortune 100's ``Best Companies to Work For'' in 2014 and 
was named to the 2014's ``Best Places to Work in Illinois'' list by the 
Daily Herald Business Ledger, one of only sixty Illinois companies to 
receive this honor.
  Mr. Speaker and my distinguished colleagues in the House, please join 
me in honoring Burns & McDonnell for their legacy of excellence. Burns 
& McDonnell is a company that truly cares not only for their clients, 
but also for their employees.
