                            PRATT & WHITNEY

  (Mr. LARSON of Connecticut asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I join my other colleagues 
from Arkansas, Maine, and Texas, who have stood here today in 
recognition of Pratt & Whitney aircraft.
  I am proud to say, however, that the headquarters for Pratt & Whitney 
aircraft is in East Hartford, Connecticut, where we keep the eagle 
flying.
  My father, my mother, during the Second World War, my brother, all 
worked at Pratt & Whitney aircraft. It continues to be not only the 
arsenal for democracy for this great Nation of ours, but a center of 
innovation and technology where we not only keep the eagle flying, but 
we also provide opportunities for jobs well beyond these 90 years.
  Pratt & Whitney alone, as a corporation, provides an education for 
every single one of its employees and not only pays for that education, 
it buys them the books and provides the time off to study so they can 
continue to do what they have always done, build dependable engines and 
be an excellent

model of corporate behavior and continue to keep the eagle flying both 
in this country and around the globe.
