  Mr. WILSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise before my colleagues today 
to pay a special tribute to Mr. Truman F. Marshall, a dedicated public 
servant who will soon retire from the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers,

to the Corps of Engineers, his local community, and our country.

October 6, 1955. Since that time, Mr. Marshall has distinguished 
himself as a man of dedication, innovation, and personal

  As he begins his retirement, may he and his family fully enjoy all 
the best in the years ahead.
