                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 14, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of his retirement in June 2005, 
we rise to thank Mr. William Dellar for over 30 years of outstanding 
service to the United States government, most recently here in the U.S. 
House of Representatives.
  Bill began his career with four years of military service in the 
United States Marine Corps. He continued his government service 
starting in 1979 at the United States Department of Energy. He followed 
that with service at the Naval Sea Systems Command, the Naval Air Test 
Center, and the United States Coast Guard, honing his procurement 
skills throughout this time. Bill brought his expertise to the House in 
1999 as Associate Administrator of Procurement. His passionate customer 
service, organizational knowledge and resourcefulness, and his 
leadership on numerous initiatives have benefited countless Members and 
staff over the years.
  Among his many other achievements, Bill was instrumental in leading 
the merger of the Office of Finance and the Office of Procurement into 
a single business unit, resulting in resource savings, process 
efficiencies, and enhanced customer service capabilities. Bill has also 
established the framework for the implementation of a Center of 
Excellence concept geared toward providing streamlined enterprise 
system solutions to all CAO customers and stakeholders. Over the past 6 
years, Bill has been instrumental in managing the award of contracts 
for numerous customer-focused requirements, such as the House Fitness 
Center, the Modular Furniture Program, Postal Operations and a 21st 
century state-of-the-art enterprise resource planning system.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
Bill for his many years of dedication and outstanding contributions to 
the U.S. House of Representatives. We wish Bill many wonderful years in 
fulfilling his retirement dreams.
