                      RECOGNITION OF MAJOR TIM COY

 Mr. ALLARD. Mr. President, today, I would like to recognize an 
individual that has been a tremendous asset to my office--Maj. Tim Coy. 
For the past year, Major Coy has been an Air Force Legislative Fellow 
in my office. He has proven to be a professional officer, who handles 
any task he is given with enthusiasm and tenacity.
  A year ago I requested a sharp military officer be assigned to my 
staff because of my new position on the Senate Armed Services 
Committee. Once we interviewed Tim, we knew that his extensive space 
and missile expertise would benefit my committee assignments, and his 
knowledge of Colorado would also be invaluable.
  From Tim's first day in the office, he blended in with my talented 
staff and went to work. He assisted in all areas of the office. He 
played a major role with our defense team on committee work, floor 
speeches, and became a point person for missile defense issues. Just as 
important, he became more than a one year staffer, but a friend to us 
all.
  In closing, Tim is an exceptionally capable and professional military 
officer. He is the very first fellow I have hired, and one of the 
reasons I look forward to bringing in another fellow for next year. He 
has a bright future in the Air Force and I know I will be hearing great 
things about him in the future. Not only was I proud to have Maj. Tim 
Coy as a ``member'' of my staff, but he also did the Air Force 
proud.
