 RECOGNIZING CUTLER DAWSON, NEWLY ELECTED BOARD MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL 
                  ASSOCIATION OF FEDERAL CREDIT UNIONS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES P. MORAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 25, 2006

  Mr. MORAN of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Cutler Dawson, a constituent of mine, on his recent election to the 
Board of Directors of the National Association of Federal Credit Unions 
(NAFCU). Mr. Dawson is the president and CEO of Navy Federal Credit 
Union, located in Merrifield, Virginia.
  Mr. Dawson only recently took over at Navy Federal Credit Union after 
a 35-year career in the Navy, retiring as Vice Admiral. Mr. Dawson held 
numerous commands, including service as Deputy Chief of Naval 
Operations and Chief of Legislative Affairs. While on active duty, Mr. 
Dawson also served as a Navy Federal volunteer official on the 
Supervisory and Credit Committees, and as a board director. Mr. Dawson 
has been very active since taking over at Navy Federal Credit Union, 
testifying before Congress twice and joining the Board of the Consumer 
Federation of America.
  Mr. Dawson and Navy Federal Credit Union are working hard to ensure 
that the Nation's sailors have access to high quality, low cost 
financial services wherever they may be deployed. Such service is the 
hallmark of the credit union movement, and Navy Federal Credit Union 
has exemplified that philosophy for decades. I wish Mr. Dawson good 
luck in his new role as a member of the NAFCU board of directors.
