Recognizing Roland Christensen

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. OWENS. Madam Speaker, in the latest edition of the U.S. News & World Report's ``Best States'' rankings, Utah was ranked the top in the Nation.

Utah has one of the strongest economies in America because of our State's pro-market policies, family values, and entrepreneurial spirit. At the forefront of Utah's thriving economy is the booming technology industry in my district and across our State.

Today, I recognize Roland Christensen, an entrepreneur, a businessowner, and an engineer who has made an invaluable contribution to the Gunnison community and the entire State of Utah.

Raised in the rural town of Gunnison, Roland utilized his expertise in mechanical engineering to build one of the most successful aerospace companies in the Nation from the ground up in his hometown.

ACT Aerospace is a defense technology manufacturing leader supporting our troops with the latest technology to win on the battleground because of the visionary leadership of Roland Christensen and the highly skilled workforce of Utah.

Madam Speaker, I thank Roland for all he does to keep Utah the best place to live, raise a family, and start a business.
