  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to publicly 
recognize and thank Mr. Rick Lottie for his years of distinguished 
service on the Third District of Texas' Academy Selection Board.
   A 1969 graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Mr. Lottie 
served his country with distinction as a Marine Corps infantry officer 
from 1969 to 1974, including a deployment to Vietnam from 1970 to 1971.
   He then spent his civilian career working for first-rate IT services 
companies such as Electronic Data Systems, Perot Systems, and MCI 
Systemhouse.
   Mr. Lottie, always a community servant, has served on the board of 
directors for the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation and Admiral 
Nimitz Foundation and is currently an advisor to the Injured Marine 
Semper Fi Fund.
   As a member of the Third District's Academy Selection Board, Mr. 
Lottie has sacrificed his time and offered his guidance to help me send 
some of North Texas' best and brightest young people to United States 
Service Academies.
   It is a privilege to know this true American patriot.
   To Rick, thank you for your service, and God bless you.
