                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 17, 2005

  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Lieutenant 
General Richard V. Reynolds. Lieutenant General Reynolds is retiring as 
the Vice Commander of Air Force Materiel Command after thirty-three 
years of faithful and distinguished service to our country.
  In addition to being an effective Air Force officer, Lieutenant 
General Reynolds has been a positive contributor to the Wright 
Patterson Air Force Base community for the past eleven years. I met 
Lieutenant General Reynolds when I began to serve areas surrounding the 
base after the re-districting of 2002. I have always appreciated his 
candor, professionalism, and accessibility. In addition, I appreciated 
his willingness to educate my staff about both the Air Force and Wright 
Patterson at our 2003 staff retreat.
  I am also greatly impressed by Lieutenant General Reynolds' 
dedication to our country and his commitment to advancing the 
competitive edge of the United States Air Force. He has a distinguished 
service record and has worked with some of the best aircraft and 
service technologies in our military. His service to both the Air Force 
and our country will be greatly missed.
  To you Dick, I thank you for your service to our country, and I wish 
you and your family best wishes in your future endeavors. 
Congratulations for a successful and dedicated career.
