  Mr. BURCHETT. Madam Speaker, today I recognize Knoxville-based 
engineering firm Strata-G on winning the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's 
2019 Dream Big Small Business of the Year Award.
  Strata-G was founded in 2002 by retired Navy veteran Dan Hurst. Since 
then, the Strata-G team has grown to include more than 200 engineers, 
scientists, safety professionals and project managers that provide 
technical support to clients in environmental, energy, defense, utility 
and infrastructure sectors.
  Strata-G has received numerous awards for both its outstanding 
engineering services and focus on community service. The firm supports 
numerous charities, non-profits and land stewardship initiatives. The 
Small Business of the Year Award came with a check for $25,000, which 
Strata-G is investing in two of its community partners: Knoxville Area 
Rescue Ministries and Westview Community School.
  It's an honor to have Strata-G located in Tennessee's Second 
District, and I know I speak for many in East Tennessee when I say 
congratulations on this prestigious award.
