                      Tuesday, September 20, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Gen. Norton A. 
Schwartz on receiving the William J. Donovan Award from the Office of 
Strategic Services (OSS) Society. This special honor is one shared with 
a select group of great men and women who have rendered distinguished 
service to the United States. Gen. Schwartz has earned this award 
through his unflagging service to the United States and the United 
States Air Force.
  The William J. Donovan Award, administered by the OSS Society, 
recognizes men and women who have exemplified the distinguishing 
features which characterized General Donovan's life of service to the 
United States of America. With this achievement, Gen. Schwartz joins 
Presidents Eisenhower, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush, Prime Minister 
Thatcher, Adm. McRaven, and several other great men and women who have 
done a great service to our nation.
  Gen. Schwartz's hard work, perseverance, and tireless service to the 
United States are exemplified in his receipt of this honor. His thirty-
nine years with the Air Force, the last four of which as Chief of Staff 
of the Air Force, were marked by excellence. It is officers like Gen. 
Schwartz who remind us why we have the greatest military in the world.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to highlight the importance of this award 
and what it represents for Gen. Schwartz and our nation. I ask that my 
colleagues join me in congratulating Gen. Schwartz on receiving the 
William J. Donovan Award. I thank him for his service and wish him all 
the best in his future endeavors.
