                        Thursday, July 26, 2001

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. LeRoy Daniels 
on the occasion of his retirement from the U.S. Army Aviation and 
Missile Command, located at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.
  Mr. Daniels has over 36 years of outstanding service to the defense 
of this nation. Throughout his years with the Army, he has served his 
nation in tours in Korea and at the Pentagon. He has been the Civilian 
Personnel Officer at both the U.S. Army Aviation Center and School at 
Fort Rucker, Alabama and is currently employed with the U.S. Army 
Aviation and Missile Command as Civilian Personnel Officer.
  Mr. Daniels is a native of Troy and received both a Bachelors of 
Science and a Masters of Business Administration degrees from Alabama 
A&M University. He has received special recognition from the Secretary 
of the Army and the Secretary of Defense. For his leadership and vision 
for the Army, he has been honored with the Superior Civilian Service 
Award, the Commander's Award and the William H. Kushnik Award for 
Outstanding Achievement in Civilian Personnel among others.
  His talents, skills and experience, which have made him so successful 
in his career, have also endeared him to his community. He serves as an 
Elder, a Sunday school teacher and sings in the Chancel Choir at the 
Church Street Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He is a member of the 
Alabama A&M University Business and Industry Cluster Publicity and Fund 
Raising Committee. He also stays active in Blacks in Government, the 
NAACP and the North Alabama Golf Club.
  I wish Mr. Daniels the very best of luck in his retirement and, on 
behalf of the people of Alabama's Fifth Congressional District, I thank 
him for his extraordinary service to our community and the nation. I 
wish him a well-deserved rest.
