        HONORING BRUCE SANDERS ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 2, 2016

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Bruce 
Sanders, of Buffalo, New York, on his retirement from the position of 
Chief of Public Affairs of the Buffalo District of the United States 
Army Corps of Engineers, and to express gratitude for his forty-one 
years of devoted service to the United States of America.
  In his public affairs role, but also previously in his role as 
Management Analysis Officer, Mr. Sanders conducted himself with 
professionalism and dedication in furtherance of the important work of 
the world's largest public engineering agency. I was not surprised, 
therefore, when it was conveyed to me that the Buffalo District 
Commander wrote in Mr. Sanders' final appraisal that Mr. Sanders was 
``proud of being a public servant; exhibit[ed] pride and complete 
dedication to the District; [and was] honest and trustworthy; a person 
of strong character.''
  Again, I am pleased to congratulate and thank Mr. Sanders on the 
occasion of his retirement and wish him well in his future endeavors.
