                      RETIREMENT OF WILLIAM C. DEE

                                 ______


                      HON. ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR.

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 19, 1995
  Mr. EHRLICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a highly 
respected and dedicated public servant who has retired after 36 years 
of service to his country.
  During his tenure with the Federal civil service, William Dee was 
regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities on chemical weapons 
and chemical warfare. His expertise in the various techniques that 
produce chemical agents and munitions has benefited both the United 
States and countries throughout the world. At one point in his career, 
William Dee found himself in an unprecedented role when he guided and 
directed the U.S. Army's technical and scientific support to chemical 
and biological arms control.
  Mr. Dee's extensive knowledge and ability to work harmoniously with 
policymakers helped shape the Chemical Weapons Convention, which 
allowed U.S. national security and industrial interests to be given 
significant attention. During the course of his career, William Dee's 
efforts had a profound impact on the chemical weapons community, the 
Department of Defense, and our Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing William Dee as an 
exemplary American who has served his community with skilled devotion 
for 36 years. He has left a proud legacy for future generations to 
follow.
