                    HONORING MR. WILLIAM LEE TROLAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK R. WOLF

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 4, 2013

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. William Lee Trolan 
on the occasion of his retirement from the Office of the Sergeant at 
Arms on December 6, and to thank him for 35 years of dedicated service 
supporting and leading sensitive and classified national security 
programs.
  Beginning in December 1978, and for the following six years, Mr. 
Trolan served as a commissioned U.S. Army officer defending our nation 
on the ``frontiers of freedom,'' which included operational command of 
a nuclear missile site. For 19 years, he worked for several government 
agencies focusing on critical emergency management and national 
security programs, including response to nuclear weapons incidents. For 
the past nine years, he served as the Director of Continuity Planning 
for the U.S. House of Representatives where he developed plans and 
resources that dramatically improved Congressional planning and 
readiness as it relates to continuity of goverment operations.
  On behalf of the entire House community, I extend congratulations to 
Mr. Trolan for his outstanding contributions to the United States House 
of Representatives and to our country.
