              HONORING LIEUTENANT COMMANDER GLENN SULMASY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ROB SIMMONS

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 30, 2003

  Mr. SIMMONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a member of my staff 
for his tireless efforts on behalf of the good people of Connecticut's 
Second Congressional District. Lieutenant Commander Glenn Sulmasy will 
soon conclude his service in my Norwich, Connecticut office and become 
a distinguished teacher of International Law at the Naval War College 
in Newport, Rhode Island.
  Since my term started, Glen has been a liaison in my office to the 
Coast Guard Academy. As the vice-chairman of the Coast Guard 
Subcommittee, I came to rely on this relationship. What's more, I rely 
on his input and his perspective--built from years of expertise and 
driven by his faith in our country.
  Glenn's commitment to me and to my congressional office should be no 
surprise--he has long had a passion for public service. A 1988 graduate 
of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and 1997 graduate of the University of 
Baltimore School of Law, Glenn has given 15 years of service as a 
``coastie'' in the U.S. Coast Guard--with time spent in the Persian 
Gulf during Desert Storm, and more recently as a teacher of law at the 
Coast Guard Academy.
  Using his experience to enhance that of our other cadets, Glenn 
demonstrates an admirable loyalty to his values and the Coast Guard 
tradition. He has also taught at the Roger William School of Law in 
Bristol, Rhode Island and serves on the Board of Directors of the 
Center for International and Comparative Law, the National Coast Guard 
Museum Association, the New London Parks Conservancy, and the 
Connecticut Anti-Terrorism Task Force.
  Mr. Speaker, Glenn Sulmasy lives by the daily commitment of the Coast 
Guard's core values of honor, respect and devotion to duty. And while I 
will miss Glenn's presence in my Connecticut office, I wish him well 
and feel confident that I can still count on him.
  On behalf of the rest of my staff, I wish to express our affection 
and gratitude to Lieutenant Commander Glen Sulmasy for his dedicated 
work.
  Glenn, thank you for your service to me, best wishes and Semper 
Paratus.
