“Mr. President, along with my colleagues Senator Jim Risch, Representative Mike Simpson and Representative Russ Fulcher, I congratulate Glen Tait, who is retiring from his position as Idaho National Laboratory's--INL--Governmental Affairs Director, after nearly 20 years with INL. Prior to joining INL in 2001, Glen served as my legislative director when I was first elected to the Senate. During his time guiding my legislative staff, he worked on annual appropriations, nuclear, and other energy issues. He brought with him significant experience and understanding of our great State of Idaho, as he had previously worked as a senior adviser to my predecessor, Dirk Kempthorne. Prior to serving on my staff, Glen's first job in Washington, DC, was working for Vice President Dan Quayle. He served on the Vice President's national security staff as a congressional liaison. When announcing Glen's retirement, INL Director Mark Peters recognized Glen's excellent leadership as he has worked with our Idaho congressional delegation ``throughout the annual appropriations process, securing the participation of INL experts in congressional hearings, and working with Congress and federal agencies to advance legislation and policies important to our energy and national security.'' Glen has been instrumental in helping us ensure the allocation of needed resources to INL and assisting with Federal policy changes to best support nuclear innovation.…”
