                   HONORING THE CAREER OF ERWIN JONAS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE ISRAEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 10, 2011

  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the work Erwin D. 
Jonas has done on Long Island on the occasion of his retirement from 
Northrop Grumman after 42 years of service.
  Erwin has been employed by Northrop Grumman since 1969 in multiple 
radar engineering capacities, from Development Engineering to Manager 
of Engineering and Programs. The major focus of Mr. Jonas' work at 
Northrop Grumman has been the development of shipboard radar programs 
and automatic detection and tracking systems.
  Erwin has been the manager of the Northrop Grumman Ship Self Defense 
Systems Department since January 1992 and is responsible for all 
engineering and research operations associated with naval radar and 
automatic tracking systems.
  The contributions Erwin has made to naval research as well as to the 
research industry on Long Island are significant. I wish him all the 
best in this next stage of life and, again, thank him for the work he 
has done.
