                         JERRY FLESSATE RETIRES

  Mr. GLENN. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize a gentleman who 
has worked closely with many in this Chamber and whose career has been 
dedicated to public service. That man is Jerry Flessate, staff director 
for congressional affairs at the Defense Logistics Agency [DLA].
  Since 1979, when Jerry became DLA's staff director for congressional 
affairs, many of us have met with Jerry or have seen Jerry in the 
corridors and hearings rooms of the Senate. Representing an 
organization of more than 60,000 people with many diverse missions, 
Jerry has been an invaluable source of information and advice on issues 
critical to our national security and to the readiness of our Armed 
Forces worldwide.
  A true professional, Jerry may be best known for telling it like it 
is. And, while we may not always have liked what Jerry had to say, the 
Senate could depend on him for his honesty.
  Jerry's skill and dedication has not gone unnoticed in the Defense 
Department. He received a number of well-deserved merit-based awards 
recognizing his contributions to the Defense Logistics Agency. I am 
proud to recognize this outstanding civil servant.
  Mr. President, I think we can all thank Jerry for his tireless 
service, his professionalism, and his good humor. I hope, Mr. 
President, that you and my other colleagues will join me in commending 
Jerry Flessate and in wishing him well in his retirement.
