                      Wednesday, December 7, 2005

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Mr. Peter A. Tamilin on his achievements in public service by serving 
the United States Army for over 33 years.
  Mr. Tamilin began his civil service career as an engineer-in-training 
in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1972. He held positions of 
progressive responsibility as a civil engineer in the Walter Reed Area 
Office, the Baltimore District and the Europe District, and began 
serving at Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1990. In 2002, 
Mr. Tamilin moved to his current position as the assistant for 
construction in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the 
Army Installations and Housing, Assistant Secretary of the Army, 
Installations and Environment. As assistant for construction, he has 
been an invaluable asset in the development and issuance of 
installation policy with focus on Military Construction which included 
facilities for the Active and Reserve Components and Army Family 
Housing.
  His efforts, recognized within the Army Family Housing, Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, and Congress, have focused specifically on the 
Secretariat policy and oversight for the Army's Transformation to the 
Army Modular Force, Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy, and 
supplemental request to support the global war on terrorism and 
responses to natural disasters. Throughout his career, he has provided 
outstanding leadership, advice, and sound professional judgment to his 
colleagues. He is an exemplary civil servant and will be missed by the 
United States Army.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I would like to congratulate Peter Tamilin 
for his service to our country. I call upon my colleagues to join me in 
applauding his past accomplishments and wishing him the best of luck in 
all future endeavors.
