                      Wednesday, November 17, 2004

  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, recently, Colonel Bob Largent, United 
States Air Force (retired) was elected President of the Air Force 
Association (AFA). Mr. Largent will be responsible for expressing the 
concerns of the Association, to Congress and other entities on a 
national level. He has dedicated his life to serving our country, and 
now he will lead the Air Forces premiere service organization with 
distinction. I would like to express enthusiasm about Mr. Largent's 
newly elected position and wish him Godspeed.
  Mr. Speaker, I would also like to enter in to the Congressional 
Record the election of another able bodied Georgian, Command Chief 
Master Sergeant Jack Steed, United States Air Force retired as a 
regional president of the Air Force Association (AFA). Command Master 
Chief Steed will serve over a region covering three states--Georgia, 
South Carolina, and North Carolina. He is eminently well qualified to 
serve in this position. He has a passion for service to our airmen and 
their families. The Air Force Association and the United States Air 
Force will benefit immeasurably from his leadership.
