Mr. RUTHERFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Richard N. Reilly on a well-deserved retirement after many years of service to the United States of America.

Richard has been a U.S. State Department Pearson Fellow in my Washington, D.C., office over this past year and has provided invaluable guidance and assistance to both my staff and my constituents.

A native of Minnesota, Rich began his service to our Nation as an Army infantryman and then he continued on later with a 20-year career as a naval officer. Following his time in the military, Rich joined the State Department as a Foreign Service officer advocating for America's interests abroad.

On behalf of the Fourth District of Florida and a grateful Nation, I offer my heartfelt thanks to Rich for his many contributions to our country and wish him a relaxing and fulfilling retirement enjoyed with wife, Susan; his children; and their new granddaughter, Peyton.

Congratulations, Rich.
