  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I honor my constituent, Major William 
M. Halke, on his retirement upon more than 40 years of military and 
civilian service with the United States Army.
   Major Halke was a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) 
scholarship recipient and attended the University of Maine. He 
completed his M.S. degree in Logistics Systems Management from the 
University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering via 
the GI Bill. He served more than 9 years in active military service, 
deployed to South Korea and Fort Lewis, Washington. Major Halke now 
retires after many years of civilian service with the United States 
Army Test and Evaluation Command.
   Major Halke's tireless dedication, professionalism and sacrifice 
touched the lives of countless people and challenged all with whom he 
served to be the best. His legacy of service to our Nation is admirable 
and sets the standard for all to follow.
   On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, with 
great pride I commend and congratulate Major William M. Halke upon his 
retirement after 40 years of selfless service to the United States of 
America.
