                      Wednesday, February 28, 2001

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. President, today I recognize an 
outstanding civil servant, Mr. H. Lee Dixson, who has served with 
distinction for the past seven years for the Secretary of the Navy as 
the Assistant Deputy Commandant for Programs and Resources under the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps and as the Fiscal Director of the Marine 
Corps. It is a privilege for me to recognize his many outstanding 
achievements in this capacity and to commend him for a career spanning 
more than 35 years of superb service to the Department of the Navy, the 
Congress, and our great Nation as a whole.
  During his tenure as Assistant Deputy Commandant for Programs and 
Resources and as Fiscal Director, which began in March 1994, Mr. Dixson 
has provided Members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, as well as 
our professional and personal staffs with timely and accurate support 
regarding United States Marine Corps plans, programs and budget 
decisions. His valuable contributions have enabled the committee, the 
Department of the Navy and the Marine Corps to strengthen their close 
working relationship and to ensure that the most modern, well-trained 
and well-equipped Marine forces are attained for the defense of our 
great Nation.
  Mr. President, Lee Dixson and his wife, Carolyn, have made many 
sacrifices during his career, and as they embark on the next great 
adventure beyond their beloved Marine Corps, I call upon my colleagues 
to wish him every success and to thank him for his long, distinguished 
and ever-faithful service to God, country and the Department of the 
Navy. Semper Fidelis.
