  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Col. David G. 
Harrington, a resident of the District of Columbia, on his retirement 
and to thank him for his 29 years of dedicated service to the U.S. Air 
Force.
  Colonel Harrington joined the Air Force on July 25, 1968, and has 
served at several locations throughout the United States and Europe. 
His most recent experience has been in human resources. He has attained 
the position of chief of the education and training division at 
headquarters, U.S. Air Force.
  Colonel Harrington has devoted his 29-year career to helping the men 
and women of the U.S. Air Force through the development of systematic 
policies that improve their personal and professional readiness to 
defend the United States and its allies. The colonel has received many 
awards and decorations for outstanding service during his career.
  Upon the completion of such exemplary service to our Nation, I 
commend Colonel Harrington and wish him well in the future.
