                    HONORING DR. RICHARD P. HALLION

                          HON. JAMES P. MORAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 29, 2006

  Mr. MORAN of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dr. 
Richard P. Hallion, who is retiring as Senior Adviser for Air and 
Space' Issues at the Directorate for Security, Counterintelligence and 
Special Programs Oversight at the Pentagon. His distinguished career 
and record of achievement reflects selfless commitment to our country.
  Dr. Hallion graduated from the University of Maryland in 1970, and 
completed the Kennedy School of Government's National Security Studies 
Program in 1993. His career spanned a variety of offices, including the 
working at the Air Force Flight Test Center, Andrews Air Force Base, 
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the Office of the Secretary of the Air 
Force, the Air Force Centennial Flight Office, and the National Air and 
Space Museum. His experience and education has afforded him the 
opportunity to author numerous articles and books on the evolution and 
history of airborne warfare. Tirelessly, Dr. Hallion continues to write 
to this day.
  Dr. Hallion has been recognized numerous times for his hard work and 
dedication to military aviation. In 2005, he received the Annual Award 
of the Conference of Historic Aviation Writers, and was recognized as a 
Distinguished Lecturer and Associate Fellow of the American Institute 
of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He has received similar recognition 
from the Society of Experimental Test Pilots, the Aviation Space 
Writers Association, the Air Force Association and the Air Force 
Systems Command.
  His contributions to the Air Force will be missed as he moves on to 
new and exciting opportunities. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Dr. Richard P. Hallion and wish him all the best in his 
future endeavors.
