  Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor CDR Earl Bennett III 
for his service in the U.S. Naval Reserve. CDR Bennett will have 
completed 19 years of cryptologic service with the Air Force Security 
Service and the Naval Reserve Security Group as of September 30, 2002, 
as well as seven years in language assignments.

  CDR Bennett is an outstanding U.S. Naval Officer who has served his 
country with distinction for over 25 years. His professionalism, 
commitment to sailors under his charge, and dedication to duty are 
truly deserving of special recognition. He is a highly dedicated man 
who has faithfully contributed to his community, the U.S. Naval 
Reserve, and the United States of America. On behalf of a grateful 
nation, I extend my warmest wishes of ``Fair Winds and Following Seas'' 
to CDR Bennett and congratulate him for a job extremely well done.

  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring CDR Earl Bennett III.
