               RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF BRIAN M. MOORE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDWARD R. ROYCE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 25, 2012

  Mr. ROYCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer tribute to a truly 
superb civil servant, veteran, and engineer, Mr. Brian Moore, on the 
occasion of his retirement as Deputy District Engineer for the Los 
Angeles District of the United States Army Corps of Engineers. It has 
been such a pleasure to know and work with Mr. Moore as he has helped 
address critical water resources and infrastructure needs for this 
nation during his career. Overall, he has served his country as a young 
soldier and as a distinguished civilian senior leader for the Los 
Angeles District spanning a career of over 44 years.
  Mr. Moore's technical expertise and superior leadership has been 
instrumental to the success of the Army Corps of Engineers' many 
complex projects and programs. As the Army Corps of Engineers 
transformed itself to a project management focused organization, he was 
called to lead the role as one of the first Deputy District Engineers 
for Project Management and is retiring as the longest serving Corps 
leader in that role. He has been instrumental in the success of the 
extremely capable Los Angeles District which has nearly 400 projects in 
navigation, flood control, environmental restoration, military 
construction, and environmental cleanup. He has led and mentored future 
engineering leaders supporting our country's critical infrastructure 
including young military officers who have been assigned to the Los 
Angeles District.
  He has been equally adept at interacting with all levels of 
government partners, agencies, stakeholders, and public sponsors in 
meeting the nation's military construction and water resources needs. 
The organization and teams that he has led have been known for their 
intricate problem solving, common sense solutions, consideration of 
stakeholder needs, and teamwork. All in all, I know of no finer member 
of our esteemed United States Army Corps of Engineers and I wish him 
the best in the years ahead.
