                    RECOGNIZING DR. KENNETH MOSSMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. KYRSTEN SINEMA

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 2, 2013

  Ms. SINEMA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask that my colleagues join 
me in recognizing Dr. Kenneth L. Mossman for nomination to membership 
of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.
  Dr. Mossman has served for 23 years as Professor of Health Physics at 
Arizona State University and is internationally renowned as an expert 
in the field of ionizing radiation exposure. He has served in an 
advisory capacity to the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the National Research Council of the 
National Academies, the Nuclear Energy Agency in Paris, and the 
International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. Dr. Mossman presently 
serves as an Administrative Judge for the Atomic Safety and Licensing 
Board of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
  The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board provides a uniquely 
valuable service to the American people as an independent watchdog over 
the safety consequences of developments in the Department of Energy's 
defense nuclear facilities. I can think of no better candidate than Dr. 
Mossman to advise our nation's leaders of contingencies to protect 
public health and safety. I am proud that Dr. Mossman represents my 
alma mater and my district at the highest level of competence and 
governance in his field.
  I have no doubt that Dr. Mossman will faithfully serve the public 
interest in his role as member of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety 
Board and I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing his dedication 
and accomplishment.
