                          TRIBUTE TO JON SHAW

  Mr. SCOTT of Florida. Mr. President, I stand to recognize and 
congratulate Mr. Jon Shaw on his retirement from Federal Civilian 
Service after serving over 16 years in U.S. Central Command's Special 
Staff Office of Legislative Affairs. Mr. Shaw served in various 
legislative affairs positions including legislative analyst, deputy 
director, and executive director. In his civilian service, Mr. Shaw has 
served under nine commanders from Admiral Fallon, General Dempsey, 
General Petraeus, General Allen, General Mattis, General Austin, 
General Votel, General McKenzie, and U.S. Central Command's present 
commander, General Kurilla. During his time in the civil service, Mr. 
Shaw has been a part of numerous operational planning teams, crisis 
action teams, councils, and boards providing legislative expertise.
  Mr. Shaw's 44 years of faithful service to our Nation began on April 
4, 1980, when he enlisted in the U.S. Army. His 23 years of military 
service culminated with his retirement as a sergeant major from U.S. 
Central Command on 1 October 2003. Once again, congratulations to Mr. 
Shaw on his retirement and for his service to the United States of 
America.
