                     Wednesday, September 25, 2013

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Annie 
Quichocho on the occasion of her retirement from the U.S. Department of 
the Navy after more than 42 years of federal civilian service.
   Ms. Quichocho was born and raised on Guam, and graduated from George 
Washington Senior High School in 1969. In 1971, she began working as a 
clerk at Naval Station Guam. Her career as a federal civilian employee 
took her from Guam to Millington, Tenn., Whidbey Island, Wash., 
Beeville, Texas, Norfolk, Va., and finally to Patuxent River, Md., 
where she has lived with her family for more than 30 years.
   Most recently, Ms. Quichocho worked as financial management analyst 
at Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division in the Budget 
Formulation, Justification and Execution Department. During this time, 
she served as the Lead Financial Management Analyst for seven financial 
analysts and two administrative personnel. She provided advice, 
financial support, guidance, and services for the Funds Management 
Division, and trained brand new employees and interns on the overview 
and details of the funding process in the Budget Office. She also 
received, reviewed, processed, and established incoming funding 
documents from various customers.
   Additionally, Ms. Quichocho is an active member and a former 
secretary of the Guam Society of America, an organization that brings 
together former residents of Guam living in Washington, D.C. and the 
suburbs of Virginia and Maryland. She also is a member of the Internal 
Communication Workgroup, Business Financial Management Community, the 
American Society of Military Comptrollers, and is a member, usher and 
teacher's aide at St. Nicholas Chapel in Patuxent River.
   On behalf of the people of Guam and a grateful nation, I commend Ms. 
Annie Quichocho for her many years of dedicated service to our country. 
I wish the very best to Ms. Quichocho, her husband, Larry, their 
daughter, Lori, their son-in-law, David, and her three grandchildren.
