                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 2, 2009

  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a great public 
servant upon his retirement from the United States Navy--a man who has 
served his country diligently, my friend Brian Klock.
  After 28 years of service to his country, Brian retired from his post 
as a Commander in the Navy on July 1, 2009. Throughout his career he 
served as an intelligence officer working as an analyst, an aviation 
intelligence officer in a P3 Squadron, and as a Naval Criminal 
Investigative Service (NCIS) Agent. On many occasions his service took 
him overseas, including during the Cold War and the Bosnian conflict.
  After September 11, 2001, Brian was called to serve in NCIS and was 
assigned to counter intelligence operations overseas. Upon his return 
to the United States, Brian was asked to join the Protective Services 
Division. It was here that he spent two years protecting the leadership 
of the Department of Defense and visiting foreign military dignitaries. 
At the conclusion of his career, Brian was serving as the operations 
officer for a CENTCOM intelligence unit.
  It is with great pleasure that I congratulate Brian for his years of 
exemplarily service to our nation. I wish him the best in his years to 
come and hope he lives life to the fullest during his retirement years.
