                  REMEMBERING ADMIRAL JOHN C. AQUILINO

  (Mr. CASE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CASE. Madam Speaker, this Friday at Kilo Pier, Pearl Harbor, 
Admiral John C. Aquilino, call sign ``Lung,'' relinquished his command 
of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and closes four decades of service to 
our Nation.
  Throughout, Admiral Aquilino has exemplified loyalty to his oath. At 
INDOPACOM, he has been fiercely realistic about the challenge we face 
and fiercely focused on the path we must take.
  His rock has always been his wife, Laura, and their daughters, Jess 
and Lisa. We owe them a true debt of gratitude.
  When he assumed command 3 years ago, Admiral Aquilino quoted Admiral 
Nimitz doing the same in December 1941 at Pearl Harbor: ``It is a great 
responsibility, but I shall do my utmost to meet it.''
  Admiral Aquilino has more than met his responsibility, and we are 
truly grateful.
