In addition to Laboratory Testing Inc., over 180 suppliers from across the United States will actively participate in explaining to members of Congress the importance of fully funding the program for the well-being of the 2,000 businesses and their employees across the United States that contribute parts and services to the production and maintenance or aircraft carriers, as well as the strength of the economy and our defense program.
