                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 18, 2016

  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Sandia 
National Laboratories of Livermore. Through 60 years of collaborative 
research and pioneering to solve our nation's security issues, Sandia's 
workers have focused on keeping America's technology on the cutting 
edge.
  From nuclear stockpile stewardship to chemical weapons disposal, from 
cybersecurity to fuel cells, their work has made every American safer. 
I am particularly thankful for Sandia's Energy and Climate program, 
which works toward a secure energy future for our nation. Moving us 
toward a sustainable, domestically sourced energy supply and more 
reliable infrastructure might be among the greatest gifts they are 
giving to Americans for generations to come.
  Our cars are cleaner, our cybersecurity is stronger, and our energy 
options are widening because of Sandia's innovative work that will help 
maintain America's position as a premier technological leader.
  Sandia has become an integral part of the Livermore community, 
helping to turn the area into a bustling and vibrant center of 
innovation. The entire 15th Congressional District is better for it. I 
am honored to represent the great minds of Sandia's workforce, and 
would like to congratulate them on 60 years of innovation and 
groundbreaking science.
