Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LUTTRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Dimitri Kusnezov for his 23 years of service to our country.

While Dimitri's name might not be in the headlines, the impact of his life will be felt across our Nation forever. As Undersecretary for Science and Technology at the Department of Homeland Security, Dimitri has been at the helm of cutting-edge innovation, pushing the boundaries of technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and cybersecurity, tools that protect American lives and keep us ahead of adversaries.

At the Department of Energy, Dimitri was the chief scientist for the NNSA and also stood up and led the Office of Artificial Intelligence Technologies. As he retires, I truly wish him the greatest journey in the next chapter of his life. Fair winds and following seas.
