             HONORING LIEUTENANT GENERAL KEVIN J. SULLIVAN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the order of the House of 
January 4, 2007, the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Bishop) is recognized 
during morning-hour debate for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I 
stand to honor Lieutenant General Kevin J. Sullivan upon his promotion 
to Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Installations and Logistics.
  Kevin Sullivan was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and grew up in an 
Air Force family. He married the former June Young, also from 
Connecticut. He is an alumnus of the University of Connecticut, and he 
and June are Husky fans through and through.
  General Sullivan entered the Air Force and was commissioned through 
the Air Force ROTC program upon graduation. His first assignment took 
him in 1975 to England Air Force Base, Louisiana, as a weapons loading 
officer. He has since had assignments in the Philippines, North Dakota, 
Nebraska, here in Washington, Alabama, Germany, Utah, Ohio, Florida, 
and most recently a return engagement to Hill Air Force Base as 
Commander of the Ogden Air Logistics Center.
  General Sullivan is the longest serving commander in the history of 
the Ogden ALC and he has led with superb application of financial, 
human and material resources during his tenure.
  Despite living the itinerant life that is part and parcel of the Air 
Force, and despite his affection and affinity to his alma mater, we 
consider Kevin and June to be true Utahns, and we look forward to their 
future visits, official and not-so-official.
  General Sullivan, please accept my heartfelt thanks for your 
outstanding leadership and stewardship at Hill Air Force Base during 
the past 4 years and my very best wishes upon your important new 
assignment. You exemplify the tradition of ``Integrity first, Service 
before self, and Excellence in all we do'' that is the hallmark of the 
United States Air Force.
