  Mr. MORAN of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Betty 
B. Michaliga, a resident of Virginia's 8th Congressional District that 
I am proud to represent. Ms. Michaliga has contributed greatly to our 
high quality of life in Northern Virginia. Specifically, she has 
distinguished herself with exceptionally meritorious achievements in 
public service to this Nation by serving the United States Army for 
over thirty-four years.
  In 1971, Ms. Michaliga began her superior career as a United States 
Army Civil Service employee in the Headquarters, United States Army 
Corps of Engineers. Because of her demonstrated abilities, she moved in 
1983 to the Army Secretariat in the Office of the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary of the Army (Installations and Housing), Assistant Secretary 
of the Army (Installations and Environment). Currently Ms. Michaliga is 
a Program Analyst responsible for developing and monitoring the 
legislative process and Congressional reporting requirements for Army 
installations.
  Throughout her career, Ms. Michaliga has provided outstanding advice, 
and sound professional judgment on significant issues that affected 
both the Army and the Congress. Her actions and counsel were invaluable 
to Army leaders as they considered the impact of important issues, and 
her dedication to accomplishing the Army's mission has been 
extraordinary. Mr. Speaker, Ms. Michaliga has been a truly outstanding 
career civil servant and will be missed by the United States Army.
