  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I honor Barbara J. Powers on her May 
31, 2016 retirement upon 30 years of Federal Civilian Service to the 
United States of America.
  Mrs. Powers' career has culminated as the Executive Support 
Specialist to the Commanding General, United States Army Medical 
Research and Material Command. Mrs. Powers served in the United States 
Air Force from March 1977 to March 1981, throughout which she performed 
duty at Andrews Air Force Base, Carlisle Barracks, the U.S. Department 
of Energy and at Fort Detrick, where she's served for the last 16 
years.
  Since the beginning of her career, Mrs. Powers performed with zeal, 
professionalism and tireless dedication to duty--the standard by which 
all civil servants should be measured.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, I'm proud 
and humbled to congratulate Barbara J. Powers on her retirement after 
30 years of service to the United States of America.
