                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 17, 2025

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Dr. Dave 
Olson, President and Program Manager at Savannah River Mission 
Completion (SRMC), upon retirement after more than 40 years of 
dedicated work and service.
  Before being named President and Program Manager, Dr. Olson served as 
the president of the former Savannah River Site (SRS) liquid waste 
contractor. He has years of experience in safety, security, project and 
risk management, maintenance and engineering in nuclear materials 
processing, and much more.
  SRMC is responsible for the safe reduction of curies in aging waste 
tanks at SRS. As one of the Department of Energy's largest production 
sites, SRS performs actives ranging from environmental cleanup and 
protection to nuclear materials storage and disposition.
  Under the leadership of Dr. Olson, SRMC has worked more than 21 
million hours without an injury that has caused a missed worked day, 
ensured that all facilities are operating safely and efficiently, and 
met five key regulatory milestones to remove waste from and clean tanks 
to prepare them for operational closure.
  Dr. Olson has many accomplishments to be proud of and has aided 
greatly in the success of SRMC.
  Best wishes for a wonderful retirement. I am appreciative for all he 
has done for South Carolina.
