Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Scott Sax, who is retiring as the president and project manager of the Central Plateau Cleanup Company at Hanford.
A leader in the nuclear cleanup industry, Scott has been a pioneer in paving the way for the future of the Hanford Site for the last 20 years. I've had the chance to get to know Scott over the years, and let me tell you, his experience at Hanford has covered just about everything--from the tank farms to the Plutonium Finishing Plant and K Basins, to the Hanford vitrification plant.
Under Scott's leadership, Washington Closure Hanford achieved critically important milestones for the cleanup mission along the Columbia River. His passion for serving the people of Central Washington is admirable and I congratulate him on his many achievements during his career.
I thank Scott for his many contributions to the State of Washington and the nuclear industry and I wish him, his wife Lauri, and his family the very best in his well-earned retirement.
