                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 7, 2008

  Mr. WITTMAN of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize Fort 
A.P. Hill as the winner of the 2008 Commander in Chief's Annual Award 
for Installation Excellence and am honored to represent the men and 
women of Fort A.P. Hill. The Commander in Chief's Annual Award for 
Installation Excellence recognizes outstanding and innovative efforts 
of those who operate and maintain U.S. military installations, and A.P. 
Hill was selected based on their exemplary support of Department of 
Defense missions.
  Excellent military installations enable better mission performance 
and enhance the quality of life for military men, women and families. 
Each winning installation succeeded in providing excellent working, 
housing and recreational conditions.
  To compete for the award, installations completed detailed 
organizational self-assessment packages answering questions posed in 
the Army Performance Improvement Criteria. Top installations received a 
week-long site visit by a team of evaluators, and a final, detailed 
scoring assessment by a senior panel of judges determined the top three 
installations.
  The assessment was a thorough study of how business processes are 
designed and deployed, and how the installation fares in its business 
results across a variety of performance areas. I am honored to 
recognize the accomplishments of Fort A.P. Hill as the installation 
continues to sharpen the combat edge of America's Defense Forces, and I 
am proud A.P. Hill calls the First Congressional District home.
