               TRIBUTE TO MAJOR JEFFREY D. SHULMAN, USAF

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ROB BISHOP

                                of utah

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 7, 2015

  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Speaker, for the past year, Major Jeff 
Shulman has served as an Air Force Congressional Fellow in my personal 
office, and today marks his graduation from that program. Major Shulman 
has been selected for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel as he will be 
accepting a new assignment abroad serving our country in the coming 
year.
   Major Shulman's Air Force career began when he was first 
commissioned as a Distinguished Graduate from Saint Louis University in 
2003. He has served with distinction as an F-16 Instructor Pilot, 
Mission Commander, and a Flight Examiner in the AT-38C. Additionally he 
has served as an Aide-de-Camp to two Four-Star General officers as well 
as a fellow at RAND Corporation. Major Shulman has flown the F-16 
operationally during Operation NOBLE EAGLE and Operation ENDURING 
FREEDOM and has 170 combat hours in the F-16 and over 1,500 hours in 
fighter aircraft.
   Major Shulman quickly became a valued and respected member of my 
staff, and was responsible for making invaluable contributions to 
several major legislative projects, including preserving and protecting 
military test and training ranges in the Western United States against 
various types of encroachments and undue restrictions.
   Major Shulman is truly representative of some of the finest of his 
generation serving in the United States military, and I believe that 
his actions and conduct so far in his career have demonstrated a 
commitment to the Air Force's core values of integrity, service before 
self, and excellence in all he does.
   Our nation is well-served to have individuals of Major Shulman's 
caliber and integrity serving to defend our freedoms. As he leaves his 
Capitol Hill fellowship, we can all join in saying to him, job well 
done.
   As he and his loving and dedicated family move on to the next 
assignment, we send with them our best wishes for a happy and 
successful future.
