                        Tuesday, March 13, 2001

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend 
Lieutenant Junior Grade John G. Rothrock as he receives the Navy and 
Marine Corps Achievement Medal.
  As a United States Navy Recruiting Liaison Officer, Lieutenant Junior 
Grade Rothrock is responsible for recruiting Naval Reserve Intelligence 
Officers. His hard work and dedication has been cited as contributing 
to the selection of his area as the ``Area of the Year for FY 2000.'' 
In addition, his peers consider him to be a true team player who leads 
by example.
  In addition to his Naval Reserve responsibilities, Lieutenant Junior 
Grade Rothrock serves as my Chief of Staff. His leadership abilities 
are evident in the management of both my DC and district offices. 
Lieutenant Junior Grade Rothrock cares not only about the professional 
performance of the staff members he directs, but also their personal 
well-being. This concern has contributed greatly to the stability of my 
highly motivated staff.
  Lieutenant Junior Grade Rothrock, despite his youthful age, has 
already achieved a distinguished career on Capitol Hill. He has served 
Congressmen Ballenger, Gutknecht, and Pickering, as well as the House 
Committee on Science. Prior to moving to Washington, DC, his budding 
political expertise was utilized by several campaigns in his home state 
of North Carolina.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that this 107th Congress join me in congratulating 
Lieutenant Junior Grade John Rothrock as he receives the Navy and 
Marine Corps Achievement Medal.
