Mr. Speaker, today, I wish to recognize the outstanding service to our Nation of General Dennis J. Reimer, the Army's 33rd Chief of Staff who will retire on June 21, 1999.

He leaves the Army trained and ready, a disciplined force that supports our Nation and its interests in 81 countries around the globe.

Mr. Hayes had an outstanding career in education, and he will surely be missed by everyone at Lexington Middle School.

In a period fraught with leadership challenges, General Reimer defined the Army's values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage throughout the total force.

He can take great pride in the Army's accomplishments and preparedness.
