                       TRIBUTE TO PATRICK NEWBOLD

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam President, today I wish to pay tribute to Mr. 
Patrick Newbold for his exemplary dedication to duty and service as an 
Army Congressional Fellow and Congressional Budget Liaison for the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army, Financial Management and Comptroller. 
Mr. Newbold is transitioning from his present assignment to continue 
his selfless service with the U.S. Corps of Engineers.
  A native of Florida, Mr. Newbold joined the Department of Army in 
2004 as an Army Materiel Command Fellow upon graduation from Bethune-
Cookman University with a bachelor's degree in computer information 
systems. He also holds a masters of business administration from Texas 
A&M-Texarkana and a master's of professional studies in legislative 
affairs from the George Washington University.
  Mr. Newbold has served in a broad range of assignments during his 15-
year Army career. His assignments took him to the most strategic 
locations responsible for modernizing, equipping, and empowering our 
Army soldiers to fight and win wars; Red River Army Depot, Texarkana, 
TX; Redstone Arsenal, AL; the Pentagon; and the headquarters of the 
United States Corps of Engineers, Washington, DC. He has held many 
positions, thriving in supervisory positions hallmarked by his servant 
leadership.
  In 2018, I had the privilege of working with Mr. Newbold in my 
capacity as the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee 
Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related 
Agencies. Mr. Newbold worked tirelessly with Members of Congress and 
their staffs to articulate the Army's budget positions to the 
appropriations committees. His professionalism, diligence and 
commitment to the mission are unmatched, and his work both as a fellow 
for Congressman Sanford Bishop and as a budget liaison effectively 
represented the U.S. Army and the Department of Defense to the U.S. 
Congress.
  Throughout his career, Mr. Newbold has made positive impacts on the 
lives of soldiers, peers, and superiors. Our country has benefited 
tremendously from his extraordinary leadership, judgment, and passion. 
I join my colleagues today in honoring his dedication to our Nation and 
invaluable service to the U.S. Congress as an Army Congressional 
Liaison.
  It was a genuine pleasure to have worked with Mr. Patrick Newbold 
over the last year. On behalf of a grateful nation, I join my 
colleagues today in recognizing and commending Patrick for his service 
to our country, and we wish him all the best as he continues his 
service in the U.S. Army.
