            HONORING LET MON LEE ON HIS DISTINGUISHED CAREER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DORIS O. MATSUI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 29, 2017

  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge Mr. Let Mon Lee, 
upon his retirement from his position as Deputy Assistant Secretary of 
the Army for Civil Works and over three decades of public service.
  Mr. Lee assumed his most recent position in the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers in 2009. In his role as Deputy Assistant Secretary, Mr. Lee 
has been responsible for the executive direction of Army Civil Works 
projects involving flood risk management, storm damage prevention, 
navigation, and environmental restoration. Prior to this, Mr. Lee 
served at the Army Corps Headquarters for almost 20 years. His work 
with Army Corps were separated by a five-year stretch on the Senate 
Environment and Public Works Committee.
  I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Lee on our shared efforts 
to improve the level of flood protection for Sacramento, in my 
district. Sacramento is defined by its two great rivers, the American 
and the Sacramento, which makes it the most at-risk major American city 
for flooding. Mr. Lee has been a great champion for Sacramento's flood 
control projects, and together we have been able to better protect the 
lives and livelihoods of my constituents.
  Mr. Lee has been wonderful to work with on both a professional and 
personal level. I wish him many years of happiness in retirement with 
his wife and grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in thanking Mr. Lee 
for his service.
