                   IN HONOR OF EVAN MALISSA WILLIAMS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JIMMY PANETTA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 11, 2017

  Mr. PANETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ms. Evan 
Malissa Williams on her retirement from the Presidio of Monterey. Ms. 
Williams leaves behind a distinguished career in public service.
   Ms. Williams has worked for the Federal Government for 37 years, 
providing exceptional service to the Presidio of Monterey as a Contract 
Officer with Mission and Installation Contracting Command, Defense 
Language Institute Foreign Language Center, and Installation Management 
Command. As a Contract Officer, Ms. Williams established a pattern of 
consistent merit, and her hard work served as an example to others. She 
excelled in her responsibilities of independently planning, directing 
and executing many complex contract actions while executing her duties 
promptly and professionally. It has been Ms. Williams' duty to ensure 
compliance and continuity in the office, even extending her retirement 
date six months later than planned to help meet great contracting 
demands.
   Through her rigorous and thorough monitoring of purchasing and 
coordination efforts, Ms. Williams ensured critical deadlines were met 
while providing excellent service. Ms. Williams held many key 
contracts, enabling many projects supporting our service members.
   Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the duty, tireless 
efforts, and consummate professionalism of Ms. Evan Malissa Williams. I 
ask my distinguished colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. Williams' 
outstanding service.
