Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Penn State's National Security Institute, which advances national security solutions through research and partnerships with Federal agencies and industry.

For decades, Penn State has remained focused on addressing the challenges facing our Nation's security.

The launch of the National Security Institute is proof that the university is a trusted adviser for keeping the United States safe and secure.

Penn State's commitment to innovation allows us to increase the capabilities of our military and improve critical technologies.

The research conducted at the institute provides educational opportunities for younger generations and expands workforce development for businesses across our Commonwealth.

This institute doesn't just impact Penn State. It reaches people across the State, the country, and the military personnel who rely on these technologies.

The university's continued leadership serves our Commonwealth now and for generations to come.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the leading engineers, scientists, Federal officials, and businessowners who are dedicated to improving our country's national defense.

I congratulate Penn State on this historic achievement.
