                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 28, 2011

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr Speaker, I would like to 
congratulate Diane Harper on her upcoming retirement. After working for 
Northrop Grumman for almost 23 years, Diane's last day with the company 
will be July 29, 2011. Having over 40 years of defense-related 
experience, her career has taken her from the House Armed Services 
Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives to the Office of the 
Secretary of Defense to the Department of the Navy. Also at the 
Northrop Grumman Corporation, she was primarily responsible for acting 
as the liaison between the United States Congress and the Corporation 
with regard to legislation relevant to the company and national defense 
issues.
  Diane, and her husband, Mike Harper, have been very encouraging to me 
and my wife Roxanne during my Congressional service. We appreciate 
their friendship and wish her Godspeed in the next stage of her life.
