Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate F. Scott Orr on his well-deserved retirement from Georgia Power after nearly 42 years of invaluable service,

Joining the company in 1982, Scott has worn many hats over the years, including roles in marketing, engineering, district sales, region sales, and customer service. Scott then found his niche as manager of Federal Legislative Affairs--representing Georgia Power on a wide range of issues for 22 memorable years. During his time in this role, Scott worked with nearly 40 different Members of Congress and Senators from Georgia, as well as countless staffers who benefited not just from Scott's engineering background, energy policy expertise. and understanding of constituent issues, but also his enduring kindness, unending generosity, and genuine friendship.

Since being elected to Congress in 2014, I have been blessed to work closely with Scott and welcome him to my DC office on numerous occasions. Scott was integral in the successful completion of bringing online Nuclear Units 3 and 4 at Plant Vogtle--a monumental accomplishment for the 12th District, the state of Georgia as a whole, and the entire Nation--and for that, I am eternally grateful.

I consider myself lucky to call Scott a friend, and as he embarks on this next chapter of life, Robin and I wish him and Benita all the best and congratulate him on a remarkable career at Georgia Power.
