                          HON. SILVESTRE REYES

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 16, 2007

  Mr. REYES. Madam Speaker, today I would like to commend Dr. Carson 
Eoyang on completing 33 years of federal service.
  Last week Dr. Eoyang retired as the Chancellor of National 
Intelligence University and the Assistant Deputy Director of National 
Intelligence for Education and Training. He had served in this position 
since shortly after the creation of the DNI and endeavored to forge a 
viable National Intelligence University from the various and diverse 
education elements of the Intelligence Community.
  Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Eoyang most notably instituted 
much-needed, community-wide policies on curricula and standards, and 
ensured that all Intelligence Community training courses were available 
to students from anywhere in the community and not just the hosting 
agency. He successfully advocated for additional funding for training 
and education, to include critical linguist and analyst training.
  Dr. Eoyang brought a wealth of experience to his time at the DNI. 
Prior to his service with the DNI, Dr. Eoyang served as the Associate 
Provost for Academic Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School in 
Monterey, California, where he was responsible for academic 
administration. He also ran the School's executive education programs.
  A truly dedicated public servant, Dr. Eoyang previously worked at the 
Office of Science and Technology Policy at the White House to advance 
distance learning initiatives and interagency technology collaboration. 
He has also served as the Director of Training at two federal agencies, 
the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Aeronautics and 
Space Administration.
  Dr. Eoyang also had significant experience with the intelligence 
community prior to his assignment at the DNI. Earlier in his career, he 
served as the Director for PERSERC, the Defense Personnel and Security 
Research Center, where he conducted research on espionage, security, 
and counterintelligence.
  Dr. Eoyang's long and noteworthy history in management experience was 
recognized when he was named to the study group for the National 
Performance Review, the highly respected effort to reinvent government 
led by Vice President Al Gore.
  In addition to his distinguished career in the Senior Executive 
Service, Dr. Eoyang was a tenured professor of Management at the Naval 
Postgraduate School, where he taught leadership to the Nation's naval 
officers. He earned his Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior from Stanford 
University, and his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
  Madam Speaker, Dr. Eoyang is an exemplar of all the qualities that I 
value highly: integrity, professionalism, and commitment to diversity. 
Dr. Eoyang's superlative career reflects positively on the many 
agencies and institutions he has touched.
  I thank Dr. Eoyang for his service to the nation, and wish him 
success in his future endeavors. I extend my best wishes to his wife, 
Kemay, and his children, Mieke, Mason, and Lian, who have supported and 
encouraged this dedicated, remarkable man in all of his pursuits.
