                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE AUSTRIA

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 24, 2012

  Mr. AUSTRIA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Linda S. Lange. I 
am honored to recognize Ms. Lange for her Outstanding Civilian Career 
Service Award nomination. Ms. Lange was nominated for her service as a 
civil service employee with the United States Air Force, Business 
Operations Division, 711th Human Performance Wing, Air Force Research 
Laboratory (AFRL), Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Wright-Patterson 
AFB, Ohio, from 15 December 1975 to 30 April 2012.
  During her 37 years of federal service, Ms. Lange displayed superior 
performance with her loyalty and commitment to the mission at hand. 
During her tenure in the AFRL, Ms. Lange was given high visibility jobs 
such as leading Inspector General Unit Compliant Inspections, directing 
all logistical and protocol functions for the Scientific Advisory Board 
reviews, and coordinating and managing all activities for the $293M 
BRAC MILCON ribbon cutting. Her involvement in this level of activities 
demonstrates the confidence her leadership had in her ability to 
perform independently and to meet all expectations.
  Ms. Lange's expertise and experience are truly noteworthy and will be 
greatly missed. Her outstanding performance culminates a long and 
distinguished career that reflects her commitment and service to our 
community and nation.
  Thus, with great pride, I recognize Linda S. Lange for her long-term 
commitment to the United States Air Force and I would like to extend 
best wishes for the future.
