RECOGNIZING EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, DISASTER RECOVERY AND RELIEF EFFORTS 
                           AT CAMP ATTERBURY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE PENCE

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 2008

  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend and recognize the 
extraordinary contributions of emergency management, disaster response, 
and recovery personnel as well as government officials and military 
leaders at Camp Atterbury Joint Forces Maneuver Training Center, an 
important Army National Guard training site in my district which was 
devastated by the recent severe weather in Indiana.
  I wish particularly to honor Governor Mitch Daniels and his 
administration, as well as these outstanding individuals in the Indiana 
National Guard for their yeoman's work on behalf of Camp Atterbury:
  Major General R. Martin Umbarger, Adjutant General
  Brigadier General Clif Tooley, Assistant Adjutant General
  Colonel Barry Richmond, Post Commander
  Lieutenant Colonel Ronald A. Morris, Deputy Post Commander
  This area suffered greatly from severe storms and weather, creating a 
catastrophe of nature that inflicted injuries, destroyed property, and 
displaced many of our citizens. In response, these officials went above 
and beyond the call of duty, showing great poise while saving lives and 
serving the personnel working at their post.
  Madam Speaker, as Hoosiers continue to recover from Mother Nature's 
fury, I feel confident that the military and civilian personnel of Camp 
Atterbury will be well served by these leaders.

                          ____________________
