Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Pratt & Whitney on its recent milestone of having been incorporated for over 90 years. This is truly a remarkable achievement. I am proud to represent the employees of Pratt & Whitney's Dallas Airfoil Repair Operations facility in the city of Grand Prairie, and I am very proud to have those manufacturing jobs there. I am very proud that aviation has come a long way since Pratt & Whitney's development of the air-cooled Wasp engine in 1925. Its passion for excellence continues today as it produces the engine for the revolutionary F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The technological advancements in aviation that Pratt & Whitney have developed over the last 90 years have helped make our Nation stronger, and they have kept our men and women in uniform safer. Congratulations on 90 years of service. ____________________
