  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize David Hindin on being 
selected as a 2016 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals finalist. 
This honor is one shared with a select group of other federal employees 
who have achieved excellence in their work. Mr Hindin has earned this 
recognition through imparting his passion and commitment to improving 
regulatory compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's Office 
of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
  Through using modern technology and practical policies, Mr. Hindin 
has helped to increase regulatory compliance with EPA regulations, 
keeping our air and waterways clean. Mr. Hindin recognizes the need not 
merely for regulation, but also for compliance with existing polices. 
By holding industries accountable for their actions and improving 
transparency, Mr. Hindin and his office have encouraged companies to 
reduce the amount of pollution that they produce. The application of 
these cutting edge tools and ideas has distinguished Mr. Hindin in his 
field.
  Mr. Hindin's hard work, perseverance, and excellence are exemplified 
in his receipt of this honor. We need to encourage more federal 
employees like Mr. Hindin who work hard and dedicate their lives to 
helping the environment. I look forward to Mr. Hindin's continued 
success and innovation in his work.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to highlight the importance of this 
recognition and what it represents for Mr. Hindin and our district. I 
ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating Mr. Hindin on being a 
2016 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals finalist. I wish him 
all the best in his future endeavors.
