On the recordFebruary 24, 1994
I rise today to commend an outstanding American and Naval officer, Capt. Ronald Arthur Route, U.S. Navy. Captain Route is currently serving as executive assistant and naval aide to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Manpower and Reserve Affairs. I believe his consistently outstanding performance and dedication while serving in a difficult and influential position of responsibility are deserving of special and immediate recognition. As the executive assistant and naval aide to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Manpower and Reserve Affairs, since June 1992, Captain Route has served superbly with unsurpassed loyalty, intelligence, and an extraordinary capacity for organization and work. His exceptional performance directly supported the Assistant Secretary of the Navy and contributed significantly to the overall mission of the Department of the Navy. On a daily basis, Captain Route expertly performed the myriad administrative functions of a principal deputy. Acting as staff director, he coordinated the work of 4 Deputy Assistant Secretaries and their staffs, totaling over 50 officers, senior civilians, and enlisted personnel.
