            TRIBUTE TO LIEUTENANT COLONEL KENNETH A. REIMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PARKER GRIFFITH

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 17, 2009

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding career and contributions of Lt. Col. Kenneth A. Reiman. 
Lieutenant Colonel Reiman is retiring from his most recent position as 
Deputy Director of the Test Support Group for the Missile Defense 
Agency at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama.
  Prior to assuming his current position, Lt. Col. Reiman was Program 
Director of the Missile Defense Agency's Ground-based Midcourse Defense 
Program for Ground and Flight Test Execution. He has served 23 years as 
an Air Force officer and has spent a lifetime serving his country.
  Lt. Col. Reiman has always played an important role in the 
development of North Alabama's missile defense community and our 
nation's defense. His dynamic leadership and exceptional technical 
skills directly resulted in the Missile Defense Agency's successful 
execution of its $2 billion per year flight and ground test programs.
  Reiman's distinguished career reflects great credit upon himself, the 
United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, and the Tennessee 
Valley.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of everyone in North Alabama, I rise to 
express my gratitude to Lt. Col. Kenneth A. Reiman for his many years 
of service to the United States of America.

                          ____________________
