  HONORING JIMMY DALE WILLIAMS FOR HIS YEARS OF SERVICE WITH GENERAL 
                                DYNAMICS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 16, 2020

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Jimmy Dale 
Williams' life of work with General Dynamics. Since the beginning of 
his career, Williams has been a leader for some of the most influential 
of defense projects.
  For nearly 54 years, Williams has been the lead worker on the Hydra 
70 Rocket Motor line, starting his career in 1966 with Baldwin 
Electronics. He started by hand stenciling the lot numbers on each 
rocket motor, and by the mid-1970s, he was running the project 
developing the 267 and 261 warheads. After a transfer to Hitech in 
1996, Williams began supervising and training workers for the 
production of the Hydra 70 rocket motor.
  In addition to his years of service in the defense industry, Williams 
also serves as a justice of the peace for Calhoun County Quorum Court. 
A respected member of his community and a dedicated servant, he states 
that his determination comes from watching his own family. With 
brothers that served in the Air Force, Army and Marines during the 
Vietnam era, Williams says their service is what played the greatest 
part in his decision to dedicate his life to the work of supplying 
military ammunition.
  It is in Mr. Williams' life that we find the shining example of 
service and patriotism. I take this time to thank him for his exemplary 
life and his love of country.
