                           HON. MARION BERRY

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 10, 2001

  Mr. BERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a great 
American soldier and citizen, and I am proud to recognize Colonel 
Daniel W. Krueger in the Congress for his invaluable contributions and 
service to the Mid-South region and our nation.
  Colonel Krueger has served for the past three years as the Memphis 
District Commander for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and he has 
distinguished himself by focusing on meeting the region's water 
resource needs, reducing costs, and decreasing project delivery time 
without sacrificing quality. His exceptional leadership skills guided 
the Memphis District into the 21st Century with an engaged workforce 
dedicated to open communications, improved safety and mission focused 
training.
  Key projects completed under his command include: Hickman Bluff 
Stabilization, Whiteman's Creek, Francis Bland Floodway, and the 
initial on-farm construction phase of the Grand Prairie Demonstration 
Project.
  He has dedicated his life to serving his fellow soldiers and citizens 
as a leader in both his profession as an engineer and his military 
service, and he deserves our respect and gratitude for his 
contributions.
  On behalf of the Congress, I extend congratulations and best wishes 
to this faithful servant, Colonel Daniel W. Krueger, on his successes 
and achievements.
