I rise to acknowledge Maj. Mark Shirley, serving as a Defense legislative fellow, and Robert Temple, an intern in my office. We have certainly benefited from both of them, particularly Major Shirley. He has been with our office for 1 year. This has been the first year I have been on both the Armed Services Committee and the Defense Appropriations Committee. Major Shirley's help in both of those cases has been exceptional. I am pleased we have had this benefit. ____________________
