  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. James B. 
Howard, a citizen of King George County and Virginia's First District, 
on his retirement from the King George County Board of Supervisors. Mr. 
Howard served his community well as a member of the Board of 
Supervisors for the James Monroe District from 1976 to 1978. 
Additionally, Mr. Howard served as a member of the King George County 
School Board from 1988 to 1991, and the County Supervisor for the James 
Monroe District from 2000 to 2009 and 2014 to 2017.
  During his tenure, Mr. Howard furthered the education of our youth 
through leading the development of Sealston Elementary School, 
construction of the new King George High School, the expansion of the 
King George Middle School, and renovation of the Potomac Elementary 
School, in addition to other leadership successes. Mr. Howard served as 
the Chairman of the King George County Board of Supervisors for 
multiple terms and dedicated 21 years to serving the county in local 
government.
  In addition to his service in local government, Mr. Howard worked at 
Naval Surface Warfare Station Dahlgren for 37 years. Mr. Howard began 
as a Contract Negotiator, earning several promotions before 
establishing the Work for Private Parties Program. Mr. Howard retired 
from Dahlgren and entered the private sector. His awards include the 
Navy Meritorious Civilian Award for his contributions to the Navy, 
NAVSEA Award for Outstanding Contributions to Work for Others: NSWCD, 
and the NAVSEA Navy Acquisition Reform Award.
  I would like to thank Mr. Howard for his many contributions 
throughout his 21-year career. I wish him and his wife, Sheila, the 
best of luck in their future endeavors.
