                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 14, 2022

  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I am honored to salute the 40-
year career of Walt Jordan, Vice President of Governmental Affairs for 
Oncor Electric Delivery, as he celebrates his well-deserved retirement 
at the end of December. This native Texan has made lasting impacts on 
one of our nations most critical industries and has played a key role 
in ensuring Texas continues to lead in energy innovation and delivery.
  With his ``can-do'' spirit, genuine personality, and high-minded 
vision, Walt has been a trusted leader and a fierce advocate for 
common-sense energy policies not only in Texas but also in Washington, 
D.C. During his four decades with Oncor, the largest transmission and 
distribution electric utility in Texas, he brought his tremendous work 
ethic and commitment to excellence to every challenge his company and 
state encountered.
  Heavily involved in the Texas utility industry since 1982, Walt made 
critical contributions to restructure the Texas electricity market, 
support renewable energy generation, and enhance infrastructure 
investments. With a ``no task too big'' approach, Walt shouldered a 
variety of responsibilities across his illustrious career and has made 
lasting impacts on this critical industry for the next generation of 
Texans.
  Retirement is meant to be celebrated and enjoyed. It is not the end 
of a career, but the beginning of a new adventure. It is my honor to 
recognize the service of Walt Jordan as he starts this new chapter of 
his life alongside his beloved wife Kim and son Luke. On behalf of 
Central Texas, I thank him for his superb work and wish him the very 
best.
