  Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great appreciation 
for a long and accomplished career of public service to honor Ted 
Sherry on his retirement from the Department of Energy in his role as 
Manager of the Site Office at the Y-12 National Security Complex. Ted 
served with great distinction in support of our country's national 
defense and nuclear security as a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy 
and for the last 5 years as manager of a National Nuclear Security 
Administration premier manufacturing facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
  Under his management, Y-12 has dramatically increased the 
dismantlement of components for nuclear weapons, supported Nuclear 
Nonproliferation Programs through uranium recovery missions around the 
globe, and opened the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility, our 
nation's central repository for highly enriched uranium.
  As a testament to Ted's many achievements, he earned the NNSA 
Administrator's Gold Medal Award and is widely regarded as one of 
NNSA's best managers. Ted has made many significant accomplishments 
throughout his 25 year career with the U.S. government and so today we 
proudly salute Ted Sherry, an American patriot.
