                        Thursday, July 17, 2003

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Brent Berryman for 
his many years of dedicated service to Lockheed Martin Missiles and 
Fire Control in Dallas, Texas, and to congratulate him on his 
retirement from the company.
  During his tenure with Lockheed Martin, Brent has managed the 
company's employee and company contribution programs, coordinated 
employee volunteer efforts, and served as the company's lobbyist for 
state and local issues. He served as Lockheed Martin's Constituent 
Relations Manager for local relations with federal officials in the 
Dallas area and has served as executive director of the LTV Foundation 
and manager of the company's political action committee.
  As a devoted employee and civil servant, Brent Berryman complemented 
his many business activities at Lockheed Martin with service to the 
Dallas Assembly, the Dallas Urban League's Board of Directors, the 
March of Dimes, and the President's Task Force of the State Fair of 
Texas, among others. In addition, Brent volunteers as a Mentor and 
Tutor in three different elementary school programs and serves as a 
member of the Citizens Advisory Committee of the Amelia Earhart 
Learning Center.
  In 2002, Brent received the Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control 
Excellence Award for his consistent success in community outreach. He 
has also received awards from the Women's Center of Dallas and the 
Dallas Urban League for his outstanding community service and support.
  Mr. Speaker, I have had the good fortune to work with Brent on many 
issues important to the defense of our nation and the economic well-
being of North Texas. He deserves special recognition for his 
tremendous achievement and dedication to his company and its mission. I 
look forward to continue working with Brent, post-retirement, and I 
know my colleagues will join me today in wishing him success in all of 
his future endeavors.
