                            HON. KEN CALVERT

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 18, 2012

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to an 
individual whose dedication and contributions to southern California 
are exceptional. Southern California has been fortunate to have dynamic 
and dedicated community leaders who willingly and unselfishly give 
their time and talent and make their communities a better place to live 
and work. Brian Moore is one of these individuals. At a luncheon on May 
31, 2012, Brian will be honored for his work as the original Deputy 
District Engineer for Project Management in the Corps of Engineers Los 
Angeles District. After 35 years of service with the Corps of 
Engineers, Brian will be retiring.
  As the Deputy District Engineer for Project Management, Brian serves 
as Deputy to the Commander and Senior Civilian in the District and 
directs the Programs and Project Management Division. The Division is 
responsible for management of all the District's major programs and 
projects. The Los Angeles District covers projects for civil works, 
military, and environmental programs in Southern California, Southern 
Nevada, and Arizona and has a workload of more than a billion dollars 
in fiscal year 2009. The Programs and Project Management Division has 
nearly 100 project managers, schedulers, and budget analysts assigned 
to the management of more than 400 projects in navigation, flood 
control, environmental restoration, military construction, and 
environmental cleanup.
  The Division also manages more than $300 million in projects for 
other agencies such as Department of Homeland Security, the Veterans 
Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and others. Mr. 
Moore has over 35 years of experience with the Corps of Engineers in 
planning, construction, and project management. He is a graduate of the 
University of California at Berkeley with a Bachelors of Science Degree 
in Civil Engineering and holds a Master Degree in Water Resources 
Systems from Cornell University. He is a licensed professional engineer 
in the State of California.
  I have come to know Brian well through many years working together on 
a variety of public projects in southern California. I can personally 
attest to Brian's incredible work-ethic, professionalism, and positive 
attitude. Brian is married to Dr. Nancy Moore who is a research 
engineer at Rand Corporation in Santa Monica. Both he and Nancy are 
avid skiers and Mr. Moore also enjoys golf.
  In light of all Brian Moore has done for southern California, it is 
only fitting that he be honored as he retires from the Army Corps of 
Engineers. Brian's tireless passion for public service has contributed 
immensely to the betterment of our region and the state and I am proud 
to call him a fellow community member, American and friend. I know that 
many community members are grateful for his service and salute him as 
he retires and moves onto the next phase of his life.
