Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate my constituent, Dr.\nArthur H. Wu, for 28 years of meritorious federal service. In my\nCongressional tenure, I have been very proud to represent and serve the\ninterests of our nation's most distinguished federal employees. These\ncivil servants help to make our country safe, functional, and\neffective. We value their service and, today, I would like to\nspecifically recognize Dr. Wu for his contributions to our nation upon\nhis retirement from the Navy on December 20, 2002.\n  In his years of federal service Dr. Wu has made several notable\ncontributions and attained a number of exceptional achievements. He was\na top-ten finalist for the U.S. National Federal Engineer of the Year\nAward in 1997, as well as a two-time winner of the Naval Facilities\nEngineering Command (NAVFAC) Engineer of the Year Award in 1985 and\n1996. For these honors, he was recognized for: his significant\ncontributions to the application of numerical modeling and\ncomputational analysis of foundations and dry-dock safety that resulted\nin millions of cost savings to the Navy; his exemplary leadership in\ndirecting and preparing engineering standards, criteria, and computer\nsoftware used by practicing engineers in site selection and design in\nareas of high security; and for over conserving an estimated $20\nmillion of Navy resources and providing for enhanced military\nreadiness. In addition to the above three major awards, Dr. Wu has also\nreceived over 20 special awards for his engineering design achievements\nand innovative technical developments.\n  Dr. Wu has ably served our nation well in a number of capacities\nincluding Senior Geotechnical Consultant, Acting Chief Engineer,\nDirector of the Applied Engineering Division, and Technical Discipline\nLeader for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command and Naval\nFacilities Engineering Service Center. Dr. Wu is recognized worldwide\nas one of the premier problem solving engineers in the Naval Facilities\nEngineering Command. His reputation for expert and thorough engineering\nanalyses and support for ongoing design and construction projects are\nwell known within the Department of Defense and private industry.\n  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Dr. Wu for his years of service\ntoo our federal government. I offer him my warmest congratulations on\nhis retirement and best wishes in his future endeavors.\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-PgE2133"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7675569504499435, "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"}
