                  Tribute to Captain Edward Pritchard

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam President, the time has come to once again bid 
farewell to another one of Team Blackburn's esteemed fellows.
  Over the past year, we have had the privilege of working with Capt. 
Edward Pritchard, who came to us from the U.S. Marine Corps to serve as 
our first Department of Defense fellow.
  It was a strange year to be a fellow here in the Senate, but Ed rose 
to the occasion and impressed us. He impressed every one of us with his 
work ethic, humor, and his singular commitment to maintaining the 
strength and integrity of the U.S. military. It has truly been an honor 
having Ed on our team, and I think I speak for each and every one of us 
when I say we will miss him.
  Captain Pritchard, I thank you for your service to Tennessee and to 
this great Nation and wish you all the best as you head across the 
river to the Pentagon to start the next exciting chapter in your 
already distinguished career.
