                       Wednesday, October 5, 1994

  Mr. MONTGOMERY. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this time to pay tribute 
to Lt. Col. Rollan E. Hardy of Waldorf, MD, who retired from the Air 
National Guard last month after more than 29 years of service to our 
country.
  His professionalism, knowledge and experience in fiscal management 
matters made things run smoothly at the Air National Guard Readiness 
Center, where he served as accounting and finance officer and chief of 
plans and programs for more than a decade. He is a great American and I 
want to salute Colonel Hardy for a job well done.

                        Lt. Col. Rollan E. Hardy

       Lieutenant Colonel Rollan Hardy enlisted in the 140FW 
     Colorado Air National Guard in May 1965. He served as a 
     traditional guardsman in the Accounting and Finance section 
     until January 1968 when he was called to active duty during 
     the Pueblo Crisis. Lt Col Hardy served for sixteen months at 
     12AF Headquarters, Bergstrom AFB, Texas until being released 
     from active duty on 30 May 1969.
       Lt Col Hardy returned to Colorado and accepted a full-time 
     Accounting Technician position with the Colorado Air National 
     Guard in August 1969. He also held the positions of 
     Accounting Superintendent and Accounting and Budget 
     Superintendent. Lt Col Hardy was commissioned through the ANG 
     Academy of Military Sciences commissioning program in 
     February 1980.
       After receiving his commission, Lt Col Hardy served for a 
     short time as the Budget Technician and then as the Budget 
     Officer for the 140FW. Lt Col Hardy accepted a position with 
     the National Guard Bureau in February 1983, with an 
     assignment to the Air National Guard Support Center as a 
     Budget Staff Officer. He served as the Chief, Budget 
     Execution, during this division's infancy stage, and went on 
     to serve as both the Accounting & Finance Officer and the 
     Chief of Plans and Programs during his 11-year tenure with 
     the Air National Guard Readiness Center.
       Lt Col Hardy has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business 
     Management from the University of Colorado and has completed 
     Air Command and Staff College by seminar. Among his military 
     decorations, he has been awarded the Air Force Meritorious 
     Service Medal (2OLC) and the Air Force Commendation Medal 
     (1OLC). Lt Col Hardy is married to the former Gloria Jean 
     Adams and is blessed with three children and three 
     grandchildren.
