                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 23, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Colonel John B. 
Haseman of the United States Army. I received a letter from the U.S. 
Defense Intelligence Agency informing me that Col. Haseman is to be a 
2011 inductee into the Defense Attache System, DAS, Hall of Fame. As a 
member of the U.S. Country Team, Mr. Haseman served as a military 
adviser to the ambassador and represented the Defense Department 
leadership to the ambassador's host nation.
  Established in 1988, the Attache Hall of Fame serves to honor DAS 
personnel who have long served our nation with the prowess and 
distinction befitting a member of the U.S. Military. Col. Haseman 
served the United States in Indonesia from 1982 to 1985, and again from 
1990 to 1994. He also served in Burma from 1987-1990.
  While operating in Indonesia, Col. Haseman provided the Department of 
Defense with substantial information regarding numerous human rights 
violations. This vital information greatly influenced the decision 
making process concerning the policy that was to be implemented towards 
that country. Col. Haseman also functioned to cultivate healthy 
relationships with allied nations and to improve their military defense 
capabilities.
  Col. Haseman first joined the US Army in 1963 from the University of 
Missouri Reserve Officer Training Corps. Throughout his career, having 
made the seven Army values a part of his daily life, Col. Haseman 
served our country with dignity and honor.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my sincerest pleasure to recognize Col. John 
Haseman, a native of Grand Junction, Colorado. The United States and 
the State of Colorado owe him our undying gratitude for his selfless 
service over the past 48 years. I thank him very much and wish him the 
best of luck in all his future endeavors.
