                                 ______
                                 

                        MAJOR STEWART H. HOLMES

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, I am pleased to congratulate 
Major Stewart H. Holmes upon the completion of his career of service in 
the United States Marine Corps. Throughout his 22 years military 
career, Major Holmes served with distinction and dedication.
  He joined the Marine Corps when he was 17 years of age and rose from 
private to major, serving in a wide variety of assignments along the 
way. He served as the Marine Corps Appropriations liaison to both the 
U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, and he has been a 
legislative fellow in my office. He has carried out his 
responsibilities with great ability and dedication.
  His parents, Wilhelmina and Jacob Holmes, and his fellow Marines can 
be proud of his distinguished service. Major Holmes, and his wife 
Deborah, have made many sacrifices during his Marine career, and we 
appreciate their contribution of conscientious service to our country.
  I am also pleased that Major Holmes will continue his work in my 
office as a Legislative Assistant with responsibilities for defense and 
military programs and issues. I look forward to having the continued 
benefit of his dependable counsel and assistance.
