TOM DAVIS\n\n                              of virginia\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Friday, November 22, 2002\n\n  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and\nhonor Mr. Duncan Holaday upon his retirement after 35 years of devoted\nservice in support of our great Nation. His last position was with the\nDepartment of the Navy, where he served as the Deputy Assistant\nSecretary of the Navy for Installations and Facilities.\n  Mr. Holaday was born on February 15, 1943 in Berkeley, CA. He\ngraduated from Beloit College in 1965 with a bachelor of arts degree in\nphilosophy. In 1976, he received a master of business administration\ndegree from Syracuse University.\n  Mr. Holaday began his Government service with the U.S. Army in 1967\nas a management intern. Following completion of his training, he spent\nthe next 15 years as an operations research analyst with the Army,\nserving both in the Pentagon and in Europe as well as with the Office\nof the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Program Analysis and\nEvaluation. While in this position at OSD, Mr. Holaday was responsible\nfor analyzing Army and Marine Corps force structure, force basing,\nmilitary construction, and manpower requirements.\n  From 1982 to 1987, Mr. Holaday served as a director in the office of\nthe Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Installations. It was\nthere that he implemented the Model Installation Program, which was a\nhighly successful test of the proposition that base commanders could do\na better job of running their bases when freed of restraints imposed by\nheadquarters. While at OSD, he also developed and implemented DOD-wide\nreal property and base utilization policies.\n  He later served as the Director of the Defense Acquisition Regulatory\nSystem under the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition between\n1987 and 1990. From 1990 to early 1993, he was the Executive Director\nof the Defense Ethics Council.\n  After leaving the Office of the Secretary of Defense in April 1993\nand before joining the Department of the Navy in 1994, Mr. Holaday\nworked with then Vice President Al Gore on the National Performance\nReview, NPR. There, he was responsible for improving real property\nacquisition and management within the Federal Government and oversaw\ngovernment-wide implementation of NPR recommendations for downsizing\nand streamlining the Federal workforce.\n  In October, 1994, he was appointed Deputy Assistant Secretary of the\nNavy, Installations and Facilities. As the Deputy Assistant Secretary,\nhe was responsible for establishing policy and improving oversight on\nthe Department of the Navy's acquisition, construction, use,\nmanagement, operation, and disposal of real estate, facilities, and\nhousing at Navy and Marine Corps bases worldwide.\n  During the transition in administrations, between January and August,\n2001, he served as the Senior Civilian Official in the Office of the\nAssistant Secretary of the Navy for Installations and Environment. As\nSenior Civilian Official, he was directly responsible to the Secretary\nof the Navy for the formulation of Department-wide policies and\nprocedures, and for overseeing all Department of the Navy functions and\nprograms relating to environmental protection; Navy and Marine Corps\nfacilities and installations; housing; long-range basing and\ninfrastructure requirements; and safety and occupational health for\nmilitary and civilian personnel. In this role, he provided stability\nand continuity during the absence of three presidentially-appointed\npolitical appointees.\n  His accomplishments throughout his career, and especially while\nserving in the Department of the Navy, are extraordinary. He has worked\ntirelessly to promote investment in the facilities where sailors and\nmarines live, work, and train. He was at the forefront of the\nDepartment's efforts to improve military family housing through the\ninnovative use of privatization authorities allowing partnership with\nthe private sector. During his stewardship, the Department of the Navy\nwas able to realize over $600 million in investment in Navy and Marine\nCorps family housing, using only slightly over $100 million of its own\nresources.\n\n[[Page E2121]]\n\n  To every problem and challenge he has faced, he has brought keen\ninsight and attention to detail that has enabled thoughtful solutions.\nHe demonstrated extraordinary environmental stewardship in successfully\nshepherding the transfer of land on the western end of Vieques within\nthe timeframes specified by law. He has successfully engaged in the\nextremely complicated task of negotiations and agreements, allowing the\nDepartment to convey base closure property for redevelopment by local\ncommunities.\n  Mr. Holaday has left a remarkable legacy. The hallmark of his\nservice, throughout his career, has been improved living and working\nconditions for the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who serve our\ncountry so bravely, day after day. He has been steadfast in his service\nto this great nation and his devotion to those with whom he has served.\nHis superb performance has won him countless awards, including the\nDistinguished Civilian Service Award in 2001. His leadership will be\nsorely missed. I for one am extremely grateful that he chose to enter\npublic service.\n  I wish to recognize and thank him for his honorable service and would\nlike to join with his many friends and colleagues, both within the\nexecutive branch and here in Congress, in wishing him fair winds and\nfollowing seas as he and his wife, Mary Margaret, and son, Duncan,\ncontinue forward in what most assuredly will remain a life of service\nto this great Nation.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2002-11-22-pt1-PgE2120-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.724361976608634, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
