  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation to pay tribute to an outstanding citizen. Calvin Hopper has 
worked for many years in the field of nuclear safety. His dedication 
and hard work has earned him widespread recognition, including the 
Outstanding Achievement Award from Colorado State University--Pueblo. 
Calvin is well accomplished in his field, and I am honored to recognize 
his achievements today.
  Calvin is a distinguished Senior Development Engineer at Oak Ridge 
National Laboratory, where he works in nuclear criticality safety 
process analysis and program management. Prior to his current work, 
Calvin held many positions in the field, including helping to develop 
the Department of Energy Standard Practices Guide for criticality 
safety projects for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In 
addition, Calvin has served as the Deputy Advisor and Technical Expert 
to the U.S. Nuclear Technical Advisory Group and is a member of the 
American Nuclear Society, where he serves as chairman of several 
committees. Outside of his professional life, Calvin works to give back 
to his community through involvement in the Habitat for Humanity and 
the Oak Ridge Symphony Orchestra and Band.
  Mr. Speaker, Calvin Hopper is a dedicated scientist and active 
citizen. His distinguished professional achievements and commitment to 
his community are truly an inspiration to us all. I am honored to join 
with my colleagues in recognizing Calvin here today.
