                   HONORING REAR ADMIRAL BRIAN DAVIES

  (Mr. WILLIAMS of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate the life 
and service of Rear Admiral Brian Davies, a distinguished nuclear 
submarine warfare officer who succumbed to illness on December 30.
  The floor of Congress is a fitting place to remember his dedication 
to our country and our security, where he served beneath the seas, out 
of sight, ever vigilant, ensuring America's dominance of the seas.
  I honor Admiral Davies' full life and his dutiful service. A graduate 
of the U.S. Naval Academy, Brian commanded our most secret and most 
decorated submarine, the USS Jimmy Carter. Later, he commanded a 
submarine squadron.
  His service took him under the Arctic, the western Pacific, the 
northern Atlantic, and the Indian Oceans. All other details are hidden, 
even from his own family.
  I ask that our Nation also remember Brian's shipmates who continue to 
sacrifice so much for our Nation in silence.
  I ask that we honor and remember Brian's wife, Kacey, and their 
daughter, Caitlin, who endured with courage the many hardships of his 
time in the Navy and who now mourn the loss of his honorable life.
