  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Nancy 
Dolan, a key member of the Senior Executive Service of the Department 
of the Air Force, upon her promotion and departure as the Deputy 
Director of the Secretary of the Air Force Legislative Liaison. As 
Deputy Director, Nancy is responsible for organizing, coordinating, and 
resourcing the Legislative Liaison Directorate. She develops and 
executes the Department of the Air Force's legislative program and 
ensures the Department of the Air Force provides a consistent and 
cohesive message through congressional engagements, inquiries, and 
correspondence. She works with Members of Congress, congressional 
staff, and senior Department of the Air Force leaders on legislative 
issues that affect Department programs, policies, and weapon systems. 
She will be deeply missed by all after three and a half years of 
exceptional service.
  Nancy is a native of New York and is a graduate from Cornell 
University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Factors 
Engineering. Prior to her current assignment, Ms. Dolan served as the 
Deputy Director, Strategy, Concepts and Assessments, Deputy Chief of 
Staff for Strategic Plans and Requirements. Ms. Dolan was responsible 
for developing and synchronizing Air Force strategy and strategic 
planning efforts and assessing alignment of planning products with 
strategic guidance. She supported the Chief of Staff of the Air Force 
with U.S. and Allied Strategic Studies Group, led Air Force 
transformation by developing, exploring, and advocating joint and 
combined force employment concepts, and executed the CSAF's Title 10 
Futures Capabilities and unified engagement wargames.
  Nancy also previously served as the Staff Director in the U.S. 
Congress for the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, where she was 
responsible for the operations of four subcommittees. She coordinated 
the work of the Full Committee minority to provide and update the 
legislative and fiscal authorizations for the Department of Veterans 
Affairs.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of a grateful Nation, we wish Ms. Dolan the 
best of luck in her new role as the Deputy Director of Staff, Secretary 
of the Air Force. I extend our deepest appreciation to Ms. Nancy Dolan 
for her dedicated service to the Department of the Air Force, the U.S. 
Congress, and to our Nation.
