                     CONGRATULATING PRATT & WHITNEY

  (Ms. PINGREE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PINGREE. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize one of the great 
companies in my district, Pratt & Whitney, who this week is celebrating 
their 90th anniversary.
  Pratt & Whitney has a plant in North Berwick, Maine, and nearly 1,000 
of the most skilled and dedicated workers in the aerospace industry 
work there to build and develop high-quality jet engines.
  Pratt & Whitney has been a critical part in the history of aviation 
in this country, and even today, Pratt & Whitney is still at the 
forefront of shaping advances in aviation.
  Their continued work on new technologies, like the geared turbofan 
engine, is advancing commercial aviation by reducing noise, fuel burn, 
and emissions like never before. I am very proud of the great work that 
has been done by those at Pratt & Whitney in my district for so many 
years.
  Please join me in congratulating this great company and its employees 
for 90 years of impressive accomplishments and to thank them for their 
significant efforts and contributions.
