  Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Pratt & Whitney 
on their 90th anniversary.
  Since 1925, Pratt & Whitney has been a cornerstone of Connecticut's 
and the Nation's economy. In the last 90 years, men and women from 
across the country and in my State have designed and produced the most 
technologically advanced and dependable engines on the market.
  Their F-135 engine powers Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike 
Fighter, and their new geared turbofan engine is setting the standard 
for performance in commercial aviation.
  Pratt & Whitney's engineers, manufacturers, designers, and 
technicians have fostered Connecticut's innovation ecosystem for almost 
a century. We could not be more proud that they call Connecticut home.
  Congratulations, Pratt & Whitney. We look forward to another 90 years 
of aviation leadership.
