JANE HARMAN\n\n                             of california\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                      Wednesday, December 6, 2006\n\n  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, although women have climbed to the highest\nreaches of outer space, the number of women who have risen to positions\nof prominence within the U.S. aerospace industry can be counted on one\nhand. I am therefore particularly proud to commend a fellow\nCalifornian, Mrs. Natalie Wilson Crawford, for her four decades of\nservice promoting the security of the American people through her work\nat the Santa Monica headquarters of RAND. In 1964, Mrs. Crawford became\na member of the professional staff of the RAND Corporation, an\ninternationally known and highly respected think tank, and has since\nheld a broad range of research-related senior management positions.\n  For the past nine years, Mrs. Crawford has been a Vice President of\nRAND and the Director of Project AIR FORCE, RAND's first research\ndivision founded in 1946 under the name of Project RAND. For 60 years,\nProject AIR FORCE has been the Air Force's only federally funded center\nfor studies and analyses; and it has provided independent, objective\nresearch on a full range of issues critical to national defense.\n  Mrs. Crawford's international reputation as an expert on air and\nspace power made her especially well suited for this role. During her\ntenure, she worked closely with senior leaders of the Air Force to\nbuild a powerful research agenda in areas such as geopolitical\nstrategy, aerospace force development, resource management, and\nmanpower.\n  The Air Force has formally honored Mrs. Crawford many times. She has\ntwice been awarded the Air Force's Decoration for Exceptional Civilian\nService. In 2003, she received both the Lifetime Achievement Award from\nthe Air Force Analytic Community and the Lieutenant General Glenn Kent\nLeadership Award. She has also been the Department of the Air Force's\nWoman of the Year. Today, the members of the United States House of\nRepresentatives have the opportunity to add our expression of\nappreciation for her loyal and dedicated service.\n  In October, Mrs. Crawford stepped down from her administrative roles\nin Project AIR FORCE. However, she will continue to act as a senior\nadvisor to RAND's chief executive officer and she will be a senior\nmentor to the USAF Scientific Advisory Board, a group with which she\nhas been affiliated since 1988.\n  I thank Natalie Crawford for all that she has done to ensure the\nsafety and security of the United States, and I wish her every success\nin her 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-2006-12-08-pt1-PgE2140"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.3611131105571985, "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"}
