  Mr. GARAMENDI. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition and 
appreciate of Mr.

[[Page E1394]]

Scott Bohn upon his completion of the Brookings Institution's LEGIS 
Fellowship program. During the 2021 calendar year, Mr. Bohn served as 
my U.S. State Department fellow and quickly became an integral part of 
my legislative staff.
  His working knowledge as a State Department employee and veteran 
informed my work as Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee 
on Readiness and as a member of the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces. 
Over this past year, he worked closely with my personal office staff 
and other Congressional offices on a variety of critical issues. He 
helped to reconstitute my Congressional Nuclear Weapons and Arms 
Control Working Group, which focuses on nuclear arms control, risk 
reduction, and nonproliferation. He also worked to advance my 
bipartisan ``Peace Corps Reauthorization Act,'' which the House Foreign 
Affairs Committee reported favorably in September 2021.
  Mr. Bohn graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor 
of Philosophy in politics and philosophy, and from Georgetown 
University with a Master of Arts in Russian and East European studies.
  A career employee at the U.S. Department of State, Mr. Bohn most 
recently led the overseas security advisory council's global threat 
warning team, responsible for monitoring, analyzing, and sharing time-
sensitive security information relevant to U.S. private sector 
operations overseas. Previously, Mr. Bohn served in the Office of 
Intelligence and Threat Analysis as an analyst evaluating threats to 
U.S. interests in Europe and Eurasia. In addition, he performed a 
rotational tour in the Department's Office of Russian Affairs, where he 
worked to advance U.S. bilateral policy interests with Russia.
  Mr. Bohn is also a Foreign Area Officer in the Air Force Reserve, 
currently assigned to the U.S. Air Forces in Europe Headquarters. 
Previous assignments included tours at the Pentagon, Defense 
Intelligence Agency, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for 
Intelligence, and National Security Agency. Mr. Bohn and his wife, 
Megan, have two daughters: Isabel and Olivia. His family continues to 
support him and his service to our nation, and we thank them for it.
  While Mr. Bohn will be deeply missed after an exceptional year of 
service, he will no doubt be successful in his new role in the Office 
of Verification, Planning, and Outreach at the State Department's 
Bureau of Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance. Despite his 
departure, he will remain a deeply valued member of Team Garamendi.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the people of California's Third 
Congressional district and a grateful nation, I extend our deepest 
appreciation to Mr. Scott Bohn for his dedicated service.
